Image for the poem Tina Turner

Tina Turner

She did not ask for the life
She was given
Looking like the woman and man
Who decided their life
Was more important

Grandma to the rescue

She did not choose the
One she loved
It hit her like a freight train
Never derailed
Controlled and rolled on
Seeing his goals

Who can save her now?

She did not ask for Talent.
The only saving grace in
Her existence
The children go
The friendships die
The love beaten out of her
Leaving marks that can't hide

Hope all but gone

When she finally asked
Who am I and what am I supposed to be
We were given this butterfly with amazing wings
We never know what life will bring
Ode to tina turner and how she sings
