Poems from karilarsen15
when i moved my legs
i ran past the low expectations
past the bullies who said i never could
past the gym teacher who paid no attention to...
"today is your day"
but i never believed today was my day
it was always hers
or his
or theirs
but never mine
yet as i cross that finish...
just words written down
nothing more nothing less
until they were words about
bodies
respect
food
fuel
no longer words
but a path to...
Because I love you
I will watch you struggle
Because I love you
I will look at you cry
Because I love you
I will see the pain in your eyes...
