Password Poem by Maya Hanson

I need a password to reopen
something gone frozen,
a fresh pearl page to restart

Quiet, not especially striking,
nothing to my liking
so I turn in my cards and restart

Wind through my cold bones
hope my soul isn't unknown
to whoever I'm inventing now

I'm a riddle's answer you can't find
a shifting, misshapen outline
maybe I'll never know how

To be a human with a past
I don't want who I am to last
I want to be the girl nobody saw

I hold the key to a twisted mystery
but words can open suddenly
the secret side door nobody saw
