i wish i could fill me day with beautiful things
not the monotony of these things
who ask the same questions
all with no answer
which don't tell
WHO i am
or
what i want to be.
That just says this is she
she who has worked
and has made decisions
she, who
has standards
she who is tired of the monotony of theses things
with no answer she could ever care to hear
because she is not a series of questions on a page
she is not a history of what if's and what happened
she is indeed
a queen
whose place is not in any of the box too small to hold her
she is worthy of much more the 7.25 an hour
her price is far above rubies
and her voice is too loud for those
who equate her only to a box
a box
a box
she is me
a black girl lost
