Since I was five
I wanted to be a mermaid
Swimming, singing, and dancing under the sea.
since I was five,
I wanted to be a mermaid
I dreamt what color my scales and tail would be
It would be blue, no not like the sea’s
but a lighter, more vibrant - a different hue of blue.
My scales would sparkle like diamonds
my hair would shimmer and shine
I’d be friends with all the dolphins
We’d explore til the end of time
I’d live in a house made of seashells
I’d make friends with the crabs and the fish
but most importantly; my one true wish
I’d sing loud and proud just like Ariel.
Before her voice was taken from her (of course)
I thought that all it took to be
to live proud ,loud and free
was to be safe swimming under the sea
without your worth on earth being weighed down by gravity.
Well, now I’m 23
and I still want to be
a magical singing mermaid in the sea.
But, now that I’ve grown
if you can really call 23 grown,
I’ve learned what it truly means to be
a mermaid.
she lives loud and proud
no matter the sound
her voice makes.
she sets waves in motion,
is in touch with her emotion
and does everything it takes
to make her dreams come true.
she is sexy and feminine
unafraid to begin again
embraces her sensuality
and makes her dreams a reality
no longer letting gravity
determine her worth.
she is more than fantasy
she’s still swimming here, on earth.
and I realize she is me
and the sea will always be
my place to roam free
to be
a mermaid.
