Sometimes

I cry

When I look at you

Thinking of the world you sold me

Now you in someone else’s arms

You forgot about me

Sometimes

I get sleepless nights

When I think of home

Sacrifices they made

Promises I made

Now I return with a belly not a degree

Sometimes

I stare at the mirror

And think of how meek and weak

Society has made me

Twisting and turning me

Making me believe artificial beauty reigns
