A Medley born Blue.

Hello

My name is Blue medley.

Not a name given to me by my mother.

But a name she had to substitute.

Having to hide her son's identity

The shaming eyes of those closest

Her families who told her no.

She rightfully knew who her son was.

And his name a title and song.

Of the man he would grow into being.

And all he ever wanted to be...

Was just like his mother.

Strong and independent.

She taught him how to be a man.

And the meaning of truly living.

And to wait for your moment of being.

Lessons bestowed upon him

From the only god he's ever witnessed,

By the tales of the struggles behind her.
