My Name Is Leonardo Poem by Amera Andersen

My name is Leonardo, on canvas I shall paint
The image in the mirror, making people faint
I want to paint myself, the way I really am
I want to be a woman and I don’t give a damn

The image in the mirror, making people faint
As I see my reflection, I know I’m not a saint
I’ll paint it with a smile so all the world can see
The artist with his brush in hand, isn’t really me

I want to paint myself, the way I really am
Acting like a gentleman, has all been just a scam
My name is Leonardo and I love to wear a dress
Give them a little smile and I will make them guess

I want to be a woman and I don’t give a damn
I love to flit around; as dainty as a lamb
So I’ll paint a little smile and make it very quaint
My name is Leonardo, on canvas I shall paint
