Author of Me by Lisa Gail Shannen

Order Me, I'm structure free
In need of discipline
I'm yours to win
Oh distance me, from infancy
Hold up the looking glass
In front of Me

Oh read to Me
Read into Me
I'm the patient of the verse
I was published before my birth
Oh read to Me
Of Comedy
Then of Horror
And of Tragedy

The Inken agents
Of the world
Advance the boys
In front of girls
We inherit
Essential rules
The narrative of nature
Is so cruel

Oh read to Me
Your policies
With the cycles and the curves
And repeat your loaded words
Oh read to me
Of History
My thoughts were conceived
Before I could even breathe

Oh read to Me
Write into Me
There is no originality
We're affected by History
Oh read to Me of Tragedy
Give the credit To Antigone
She's the Author of Me
