I was born in 1974

 on a calm meticulous street

 someplace in the sun

 oh the air was sweet

 and enough lights sprang sparks

 through the window of the room

 not as raw to a ridiculous tune

 slightly out of key in the mother hour

So leave me alone

 I'm busy breaking bones

I was born in 1974

 in a breached feet-first way

 my twin opened the door

 my very first dose of chivalry

I was dawned princess potential potent

 with gold star and matching impression

 big between two doors

 small and loved and proud and unthreatened

So leave me alone

 I'm busy breaking bones

I bet you were strong

when you should have been weak

 like a dam that wanted to break

 I wish I were the stones

 your river learned to roam

 in whispering gaze

You were told in a kind North Carolinian way

 to slow down, back up, or be hated

 thank god you did not

 and thank god you did

 an angel either way

So leave us alone

 We're busy being grown
