Dramatis persona*

helenhead Helen Chick

I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"!

I think this makes me a minority group of cardinality 1!

* Since there's only one of me and "personae" is plural (I think), I've gone with dramatis persona.

26. Tears [100 poems challenge]

 

26.          Tears

I am angry, I am hurt,
Blamed for things
Not all my fault,
Undermined and
Scapegoated.
I am angry, I am hurt,
I manage words
Of self-defence
But I am left
Impotent.

I clench my jaw
Emotion raw
But I won’t cry
Not even on the inside.
