my neck hurts
every day i look up
and watch the world go by above me
i cut my hair to make the weight of my head lighter
my ancestors scold me
but i have to sacrifice
i sacrificed myself and now i'm here
watching my friends lives go on
watching my parents live unhappy
watching my urn stay still in the attic
alone

i thought i was a child [a poetry book]Where stories live. Discover now
