Purpose



Crawling across the floor

I think

Just once more


So many things left undone

And now

This last one


Is left for me to do

To die

Because of you


Crawling across the floor

I think

Is there nothing more


My life filled with joy

I spin

And weave and crochet


And I want to create

Just one more

But I look different which you hate


And you vacuum me up.
