I walk around this house like a ghost trapped in purgatory

I am unknown by many and seen by few

Do I do this for the lore or glory?

Or do I wish them to know what no one knew?

My name…

It’s been forsaken as years go on

I’ve chosen a life of fight not fawn

And though no one tells my story the same

I need everyone to see I was not just my families pawn.

I am a person, I know feelings and emotions

I am not the cause of disasters nor do I seek devotion

I seek peace far beyond what life seeks of the ocean

Yet, I will protect myself from any negative notions

And will do so in one graceful motion

Travel to the past to find what I seek

You will find a child, some portray them as meek

When truth bares witness, you will see merely a peak

Of what others would deem a home, broken and bleak

Somehow I made it out but not unscathed

And some of their sins I cannot wash away

But I promised myself on that day

I would never bow to them again, despite all the pain

I stand with those who love me and speak of me proudly

For I was innocent and they were wrong

Until truth comes out, I will haunt them loudly

And make sure my presence in their head remains strong
