Still here, Still Rashmee

we are resources,

as daughters,
as sisters,
as wives,
mothers
and workers

we are resources
as citizens
and leaders

we are resources
first and foremost

to give,
to do
and to be

used,
overused,
misused,
abused
and confused

yet as I sit here
with a rapidly cooling cup of coffe
and peel off layer after layer
of labels

I find
gorgeous
graceful me

Still here
Still Rashmee
