Working towards the prize
Dedicated to the National Civil Rights Museum
Don't mind sweating
Don't mind fighting
Working towards the prize-
Don't mind planning
Don't mind thinking
Working towards the prize-
Don't mind waiting
Don't mind marching
Working towards the prize-
Couldn't imagine a better way
Couldn't hope for anything else
My heart is set
My mind is focus
Determine to stop injustices
Determine to overcome oppression
Determine to fight on
Determine to get my rights and not let anyone no more tread on me
Working towards the prize-
Is what I am gonna do because it's the right thing for the right time

Thirty (one) and Neither Flirty nor Thriving.
I'm thirty-one and orbiting the same few mistakes like they're landmarks. London is already awake before I am (or before I've slept) - sirens somewhere far enough to ignore, buses sighing at stops, people moving with purpose I can't quite borrow. I lie there for a bit, tasting last night at the back of my throat, trying to remember if I meant to drink that much or if it just...happened again.
