Fire

I want so much more.
I am a woman. I want more.
I want more than to make babies. I want more than to sit and watch TV and work a job. I want to get lost. I want to go out in the world and be lost for a while...because, just as fair is foul and foul is fair, lost is found and found is lost! Here, in this small room where I sleep...I am found. Everyone knows who I am, where I am...what I am. I am woman. I am sitting here, learning, or wishing I wasn't. I always see the others and think: ah, how much better it would be to be them, neglecting their studies because they are free, they have the money to do so, they may do as they truly please. I am bound to try very hard through this education.

But I am freed. They are the slaves of their lives. They will never, in the long run, know more than making babies and watching TV and working their silly bland jobs.
I want to teach. I want to live in a world where it isn't just a good idea, but one can get lost in books. BOOOKS.


And yet to some I must seem profoundly boring

Because in my mind, I may go anywhere I please. And they will always adhere to the world around them. But in my mind, I may go anywhere I please.


Anywhere I please.
