Mine by Caroline in the Garden

A butterfly, a swan
A phoenix
All somebody else's story
Of what it means to come

Through my own reflection
And blossom like a weed
I don't need your sympathy
I've still got somewhere to be

Mindful ever grasping
The powers here at play
I know my hand is wispy
But still I get to stay

You'll like me when I let you
Once I set my guard
You'll never know I'm broken shards
Reflecting out a rainbow

My piece is small
But I'll make it shine
Everything I want is mine
And everywhere I am
is my home

Buried in a bathtub
Today where I belong
Covered up in lawn dirt
To help me grow a song

Tomorrow in an office
Staring at a screen
I can be dichotomy
I've still got somewhere

My piece is small
And I'll make it shine
I don't have to be defined
And everywhere I am
I belong

My piece is small
And I'll make it shine
My piece is small
And it shines
I don't have to be defined
And everywhere I am
Is my home
