I began by competing with TV
loving the sitcoms
assuming I should look like them
talk like them
quick answer to everything
with a flick of my long blond hair
or thought
anything that came from me
was observation
and hopefully truth
being honest with myself
... it was the best I could do
until I learned there was so much
to learn and after all I didn't know
everything.
That's alright isn't it?
Until I listened to those
who came from somewhere else
like I came from England
full of confidence
until someone said
I have low self esteem
what does that mean?
Crash?
Depression flipped me upside
down and shut me up
until full of rage
I frightened myself
rushed out the door
leaving my children in bed
to go and find someone
to beat up!
