Someday

I stopped weeding the garden
Started shaving my head
I stopped holding my body
Let it hold me instead
I stopped writing you letters that you'll never read
Stopped wondering if you're remembering me
I'm not who you knew anyways

I've been big and small and big and small again
I've been a baby a woman and then a kid again
I am more than the storms that I've weathered
I am beyond the bounds of your gaze
Underneath I believe there is someone
And I'll keep them safe

A month since Atlanta
Sometimes it feels like a day
Oh my sisters I wonder
Can you hear me calling your names
Oh I wish you could tell me your stories
Oh I wish I could carry your pain
I find myself calling my mother with nothing to say

I've been big and small and big and small again
I've been a baby a woman and then a kid again
I was never the names that they gave me
I am shedding the skins of my shame
Underneath I believe there is someone
And I'll keep them safe
Underneath I believe I am someone
And I'll meet them someday
