Hummingbird

I like the concept of the 15 year old self
Though I was so naive
I didn’t know, of course-
Naive people always think they know everything
Still I need to preserve that ideal
Not for me, but for my own ingenue
She has a hero’s journey-
Many think that makes her a man in girl’s clothing
No- she is an unbeknownst ingenue
As any 15 year old self is bound to be
But I love her, and she is strong
Because I was strong
Though fragile as a hummingbird
