  • I Write

    by Wanda Cappas

    I write about my daughter
    how she puts a smile on
    my face each morning.
    I write about anger.
    I write about how hard it
    is to be a young mother
    and how people criticize me.
    I write about my sister
    how I missed her when
    she was away.
    I write about anything
    that crosses my mind.
    I write about my
    name, Muñeca, crazy,
    untouchable, trouble,
    Wanda.
    I write about
    me.
