i've been a daughter,
a sister,
a mother,
a wife, now three times.
a widow twice.
i've
been a student,
i've been a child
picking strawberries,
fifty cents
per pint.
i've been
forty years old,
but i'm ten years
passed that now.
i've been a waitress.
a cook,
a maid. i've taken
my clothes off and danced
on a stage.
i've worked in retail.
i've made dresses.
i've stood on the corner
with a sign
to earn
money for a meal.
i've worked at the zoo.
in offices.
i've been a secretary,
a librarian. i've been so
many things.
but not once has anyone
truly known me, who
i am inside.
will you?
