I am the last to know but the first to tell,
A stuffed animal sitting on the shelf
Perpetually out of rotation, yearning for the bed.
I am soft though and my fur is fresh.
There are stories and worlds yet to be explored
And I could be your loyal steed
If only given the space to speak.
Give me a chance to protect your soul
From the monsters in the dark and I promise
With the light of the stars as my witness
That there is no way for me to fail
When courage knows my name and fear does not.

I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.
