so so so tired.
I would like to write and let the world know but I don't have time.
I gotta go to work and go to school and cook and be nice and make em smile and look pretty and be strong and think on my toes and take out the trash and get up and get up and I would like to write and let the world know but I have to feed and clothe and listen and dance and sing and put her hair in those pigtails she likes so much and teach him never to forget to hold the door and pull out her chair and go to the grocery store and shower and bathe. I would like to write and let the world know but I don't have time. I have to read and study and iron and fold and I need quarters for laundry and I have to read them their bedtime story and sweep the floor and make dinner reservations...at my own table.
I would love to write and let the world know why the cage bird sings.
she longs to.
be.
able.
for.
just.
one.
moment.
to.
let.
the.
world.
know.
her longing.
her presence.
her strength.
and her
weaknesses.
her joy.
her sorrow.
her.
not to be noticed
but to be acknowledged.
