No I'm not

No I'm not

A Poem by LesliePurdy
"

Looking inside of myself

"

No I'm not

I'm not not not

I'm not finished

I've just started

I'm going to go

From

Strength

to strength

And more

I insist

The world

Must

Must hear

Must read

Must know

Of

My work

It must

Know

I cannot

Let go

I must

Fight

I must

Suffer

I must

Struggle

I must

Despair

Then rise

Rise

Above it

The poverty

The jeers

The

Oh yessers

I will do it

Yes I will

I'm crying

But

Not crushed
