#160 - What song best describes your life?
There are entirely too many facets of my life for one song to sufficiently describe it. I'm also certain most of you who actually read this ridiculous drivel are waiting for me to name a musical masterpiece about betrayal and death and murder. I hate to disappoint everyone, actually, that is a lie as no doubt all of you know. I enjoy breaking the mold, reacting to situations in a variety of ways that no one quite expects. Makes life more interesting.
Therefore, the song I have picked is one that many of you no doubt know and one Rogue should know intimately as I sung it to her more times than I care to remember. However, it occurred to me some time ago that this so-called lullaby is a horrid choice to sing to a child and no doubt has caused countless nightmares. Sorry about that, darling, if that happened to you. Though, I'm sure nightmares created by this particular song are nothing compared to other events you and I have both experienced.
Ah, of course, the song, 'Rock-a-bye baby'. It sounds calming and peaceful enough at the beginning, as I'm sure any life does on the surface. I am a shapeshifter , I can be anyone I wish to be, changing my form to please myself or others in the blink of an eye. And yet, its entirely not as easy as most of you believe. Nor is it always what I wish to do. I happen to relish my natural appearance and there have been enough lovers who would agree. The crux of this song though is the latter half, not the sweet, entrancing beginning meant to lull you into a false sense of security.
The bough breaks and the cradle falls. The world is ripped from under you, everything you believed to be true gone in the blink of an eye. Anna's sudden interest in that megalomaniac and her disappearance would fit into this perfectly. I joined the damn X-Men to be near her, to bridge this chasm that has formed between us and thought I was slowly making progress. I was on her damn team and had stilled my desire to cause any real trouble. I was content to take this rebuilding phase slowly and then she was gone, ripped from my presence again by him.
If Xavier had actually finished the bastard as he should have all those years ago, I would not need to endure this living hell I've found myself in again.

The song also addresses what occurred with my other children, the damn annoyance that Creed helped spawn and Kurt. I shall never forgive myself for what I did to him as baby but I will not allow myself to feel guilty for choosing my survival. If I had not discarded him, we would both be dead. By throwing him off that cliff I ensured both of our lives.
