NaBee: A reflection of a bite of my life


 

My life isn’t biter nor sweet

I can tell you it isn’t pleasant to eat

I can’t tell you all

But I can tell you in one bite

This is the time I came to light

I came to this world wanting to see

A good life ahead of me

But mommy dearest made it to be

Something terrible unfortunately

I have to say

I didn’t leave after one day

There were many accounts I can accuse

That she punched shoved and abused

Then one day in July on a sunny afternoon

I never thought I’d leave so soon

It all happened on Vet’s Highway

When she drove back and looked my way

She beeped so loud my sisters were scared

You knew right then she was angry mama bear

She punched she scratched she cursed and slapped

I was done right there

I wasn’t going with her no where

At that moment Nabee came out of the hive

the butterfly bee just arrived

My story ends with that certain day

I’m free now with more to say

I’m glad everything is going my way

Here I am standing today

With mommy dearest far away

I am free

I am Nabee

Beauty was she

And the bee was me.

Then I see sadness in her eyes

No tears no cries

When I look in her face

I turn away

Just to look back and see if she’s ok

As soon as she was freed

I could no longer see

The glass only showed a reflection of me

Can this be?

Is this truly me?

The girl who always kept me company

Locked behind glass surrounded by brass

She looked at me with such sympathy

Now she’s gone

Our dual has become one

She is me

Nabee

The butterfly and bee has become one

Beauty was she

And the bee was me.
