Yesterday
People looked at me
As if I were insane
Just making conversation
Chill out
Today
Conversations held
New with unknown people
We laughed
We shared
We questioned
We opened up
Tomorrow
I’d prefer more of today
Not Mine
Are you sleeping well?
I kept you up.
You don’t need
Me
Our life
What we made
Well, I was wrong
I left it all
Made what I have
And now
You’re there
I’ve no luxuries
No drugs
To drown
No smokes
To calm
No booze
To numb
Just busy
Busy

It’s funny
Because I make
Things
Up.
And I try to fit
Whose idea?
Not
Mine.

Kate and Penny are at each other’s throats. Paul tries to keep out of the way. And mom loves her books.
First in a series of connected short stories:
WONDER WOMAN IN TRAINING
High school senior, Kate, is on her own for the first time in her life with no one to take care of but herself. Even across several hundred miles, her family crushes her independence and reminds her just how connected she is to a life she wishes she could change.
Sometimes finding your power starts with pretending it’s already there.
