Sister Paradox Poem by Myra Jefferson

My scream is only a whisper
Don't play my game
My cry is only a whimper
Sister Paradox is my name
Do you see me? I don't think so
Can you feel me? I say 'no'
Poster child for the struggle
An invincible queen
A fragile bubble
I'm not what I seem
To show my weakness would be a shame
Sister Paradox is my name

You could call me Chameleon
The changeable queen
From the loving brown
Tothe fearful green
See how I change?
the more I love the more I show fear
So that the way that I feel does not appear
I can take you or leave you
That's what I claim
Do you hear what I claim
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Sister Paradox is my name
