Little Mermaid, Grown-up

I gave myself a second chance
Traded the legs for a tail
And got back my tongue
I returned to my lonely rock
My lower half fish scaled and
Comfortably numb
I sing for myself now
On nights of a full moon
I still allow myself to be a woman
Hidden from the eyes of the predators
I do my dancing behind closed doors
It is safer saner more sanitary that way

August 2006
