Daydreaming Ladybug
On the outside I'm somebody's mother
On the inside I'm searching for the answer
wishing I had a mother
On the outside I'd love to help, I want so much
For you
On the inside I bit off more than I can chew
On the outside I'm happy so happy look at our
beautiful growing family
On the inside I have post partum & am drowning
On the outside I'm angry and want nothing
to do with you anymore
On the inside I'm hurt and scared to loose (lose)
you wondering why you won't sit down for dinner
On the outside my house is a huge mess
with laundry piles and dishes in the sink
On the inside my kids are happy and
full of snugs
On the outside we have it all, house, yard,
Kids, career, degree
On the inside we are in a civil war.
Boundaries and Bridges is a collection by incarcerated and unconfined writers from across the U.S. that explores connection and disconnection related to the justice system. This collection is supported by The Learning Inside Out Network (LION), an Alaska-based grassroots group that increases access to quality participation in artistic exchanges for people inside and out of the carceral system.
