~How my writing name came to be~
S/hit I was so embarrassed
All them years
A middle name, of Bentley
How dare my folks
I'd not even peep a hint of the name
For my inner self thought
Was sure to be slain
Came to a place a long time ago
Where a,
mindset
Could be traded
For ebb in the flow
I looked at my hands
Arms within reach
Consoling self hug
Lessons to teach
To myself about me
Where peace stood/allure
Thimbled in grasp
My ism's procure
