Birthed by the Moon

I've always found comfort in the dark

Accompanied by the moon,

Who leaves her mark

She does so,

Quietly.

And she is often forgotten entirely,

I've never forgotten her

And she never forgotten me

I find comfort in her for selfish reasons

She reminds me of my mother

And the mother of my mother.

She reminds me of myself

My matrilineage is often compared by the sun

But that's because of how we are known to make others feel

Melanin in feminine is often err

And she is often forgotten entirely,

I've never forgotten her

And she never forgotten me

I've always found comfort in the dark

Accompanied by the moon, my place of nativity
