I am not every woman.

I am not every women.
not before, now or later.

I am not on an unending quest for self improvement.
I am on an unending quest for acceptance of the now.

I am not every women:
wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend, parishioner, student, teacher, employee, citizen -

I am not all these things.
I am simply fulling the roles of these vocations.

I am not every women.
these things are not mutually exclusive or simultaneously accessible.

At least not for me.

with my sanity in tact.   .

I am not every women.
these things give shape, they are the outline of the color book pages of my days.

I fill the space.
I color and leave blank and bedazzle as I see fit.

I am not every women.
