December eighteenth, nineteen ninety-one,
Beneath the sign of the archer, a girl was born
The element of fire buried deep within her soul
Ruler of the planet Jupiter alongside Pisces
Inspired by the tale of the centaur Chiron
Sacrificing immortality to give humans fire
A great Titan, son of the god Kronos
Tin, Topaz, Purple, Dark Blue - elements of mine
Carnations, Dandelions, Garlic, Sage, Borage
A spicy nature of great wit
Yearning freedom, telling stories
A teenage girl in a world of her own
Fighting for the love of a boy born of Aries
Battling a sister born of Scorpio
Rebelling against parents born of Leo
As she lives her life, the life she was given
Under the ninth sign of the great circle

I dig the incorporation of the mythos and your actual physical existance into the piece, very cool.
