a
teacher

I'm like no one else yet
I want to blend in
and
be like everyone else

Accepted for fitting in
but
trying to find a voice.

Angry
but
not at the right things.

Knowing there is more
but
not able to read the map or compass or program the gps.

Not comfortable with wandering or wondering.

Wanting to set sail yet not knowing how to pull the anchor
and accept help from the crew.

The moment right before the light gets turned on
or the click of seat belt
or
the moment before the swish of the net and the crowd goes wild.

In the blocks
legs bent
ready for the gun to sound.

In May we waded through school work and watched the tulips bloom and fase. In June, the girls and I logged over 150 miles on the bikes. July I was able to enjoy Cousin's Month with my Cousin/Sister/Mom and fellow reading buddy, Sarah. Flowers bloomed and pages were turned. Sprinklers ran and boats sailed by. It's been a sweet and bitter time. Some of my regular summer plans were canceled. Some were forgotten. New things grew in their place. Reading stayed the same. #Unreadshelfproject2020 update In January the inventory is as follows: 14 Kindle Books 11 Audio Books 125 hard/soft covered books July 31, mid year inventory is as follows:...
