That Girl
by Marlene Adams
I’m That Girl
that you see
hobbling across the street
wishing I would hurry
That Girl.
I’m That Girl
that can’t see
that squints and struggles
wishes glasses would fix it.
That Girl.
I’m That Girl
who forgets a name a face a memory
and wishes a note would help.
That Girl.
I’m That Girl
that sways and teeters
you think is drunk or clumsy
that just wants to be stable.
That Girl.
I’m That Girl
who winces and cries in pain
that swears under her breath for it to stop
that you think isn’t tough.
That Girl.
I’m That Girl
who needs to rest
but just can’t sleep
that you think is lazy.
That Girl.
I’m That Girl
that just wants to know
who just wants a turn
to feel like she felt
Before.
That Girl.
Im That Girl
who’s afraid of what’s to come
who’s thankful every day
for that step
for that breath
for that chance.
That Girl.
I’m That Girl
that walks that climbs
that runs that laughs
that works that learns
that supports that loves
that hopes that dreams
THAT FIGHTS because I can
I’m That Girl.
