Just another day in the life
of me. Woman, mother, poet
and countless other things
That go unnoticed in
this daily routine that
I live. So time and again
I try to bend this set of rules
that I’ve made for myself
Maybe this is me
trying to meet a need
to be seen, or maybe it’s passion
I seek. More likely it’s a way
to break free from the monotony
of these endlessly insipid minds
that I find so completely unappealing
But can I obtain
the relief that I need
In the temporary trappings
of this week’s distraction
My attraction to challenge
makes it hard to resist
but something tells me
there is more than this
Guess I’ll wait and see
Because who can say
where things might lead
on another day in the life
of me.
