Fresh start frolic!
bogged in bittersweet
Welcome Back!
to every emotion
Living vicariously the pain
of entering 7th grade is
nothing like those early mom days
when Back to School meant
personal liberation
!!!
after a looong summer of constant
child–minding
Instead?
I find myself returning to
the pressure to get good grades
& being pleasing as proof
of ultimate self–worth
ahh but now
FREE to step away!
just as soon as I peruse
the nature
of having changed?
Ha! Second childhood!
