At Dawn
November 1, 2019
I finish the stacks of dishes,
At dawn.
I finish the stacks of paperwork,
At dawn.
Why at dawn you ask?
I am a Mother,
A Sister,
A Scholor,
An Artist,
The "4.0",
Responsible,
The coworker.
And everything in between.
No time for play.
No time for chores.
No time for realxing.
No time for paperwork.
This is my daily life.
I am 16.
I am the middle child.
I am the "good child".
I am the disapointment at times too.
I am all these things yet,
When can i be only one thing.
Me.....
I can't.
Therefore,
I finish the stacks of dishes,
At Dawn.
I finish the stacks of paperwork,
At Dawn.
At Dawn...
I drink my tea,
At Dawn.
Dreaming about the day,
I can finally be me.
