“Are you serious?  Do you know how soap opera this is?  It stinks of it.  I want to have my normal life.  It’s all I’ve ever wanted all my life and
I’ve got that!  I’ve got Tina and Cassandra, who I love a lot.  I want to go to school, fall in love…”  She stopped and looked down sheepishly.  She kicked at the floor with her sneaker, and
Ro looked down too.  How awkward was
this?

            Ro stepped up to her, lifting her
chin and kissing her lightly.  Just a
slow sweet kiss baby steps.  Daisy smiled
into the kiss, hand running down her arm to take her hand.  Ro and Daisy turned to go back into the room
and Alice and Quin were standing there.  Both of them beaming for some reason Alice‘s arms around Quin’s waist.

            “We have to go.  Shane‘s past was exposed in the newspapers and Dana is fit to be tied.  Tonya called, so let’s go. 
Are you two ok?”  Alice asked and Daisy nodded, Ro took her hand
and Daisy looked up at her, imploring her to stay silent.

            “No, we are good.”  Ro said softly squeezing Daisy’s hand.  What Alice didn’t know, was most certainly not
going to hurt her.

            “Come on, we gotta go figure out how
to save the day.” Quin said, stomping out of the room with Alice in tow. 
Daisy looked at Ro and Ro stared back at her.

            “You’d think she was Supergirl or
something.”  Ro said,

            “I was thinking Spidergirl.”  Daisy said with a chuckle, a huge smile
brimming on her lips and Ro smiled back, breaking off into a run with Daisy at
her side.

Take
It Back

2.24.05

Janet Marie

No
one took it from you

You
were born with it

The
disposition of being who you are

Can’t
change the world

Unless
its from inside of you

The
time has come for us to change the world

To
take a mile when they only give an inch

We’ve
lost that win or die spirit

Today
we take it back

Time
to make a change

Life
as we know it

Just
isn’t what it should be

Isn’t
that a shame?

Life
isn’t going to hand us the silver spoon

We
are going to have to forge one of our very own

Somewhere
out there

God
is laughing at us

Sold
our souls for a little more gold

The
time has come for us to change the world

To
take a mile when they only give an inch

We’ve
lost that win or die spirit

Today
we take it back

Time
to make a change

Life
as we know it

Just
isn’t what it should be

Isn’t
that a shame?

You
all stare and mock me

What’s
the deal with that look?

All
I want to do

Is
change my little nook in the world

You
can’t stand in my way

I’ll
steamroller over your without second thought

You’ve
lost all that was given to you

You
hover around

Laughing
at my cause

Fighting
for the life that was never promised

What
you don’t know is

You
just aren’t living

I
am

The
time has come for us to change the world

To
take a mile when they only give an inch

We’ve
lost that win or die spirit

Today
we take it back

Time
to make a change

Life
as we know it

Just
isn’t what it should be

Isn’t
that a shame?
