From

I am from a womb 

that should’ve been cemented shut 

I am from a woman 

who wanted obedience 

and worship 

I am from a family 

of silence 

I am from indoctrination 

what to believe 

not 

how to think 

I am from books and movies 

not places 

not people 

I am from a small bedroom 

to a rocking chair
