April 3: Poem: I want, I want

i want to write about children,

tearing around in the wind,

chasing red kites and pink balloons.

i want to be forwarding videos,

of pandas and cats and puppies,

prancing and dancing slo-motion.

i want to be happy for your photos,

against foreign skies, on beaches,

playing happy families and friends.

i want to smile more, dance again,

sing louder, breathe easier, and more,

let me learn to love myself first.
