Independent Woman
I see a cafe that's empty
I sit alone at a table
I order something familiar
I touch the keys on my laptop
I smell home cooking, but its not my Mom's
I feel my lips burn from the spices
I hear the piano softly playing
I scratch where the mosquito's are biting my back
I contemplate on what I have accomplished today
I think about what I need to do tomorrow
I try to make plans for my weekend
I only want to be better
I want to discover my purpose in life
I feel what it's like to be independent, to be an independent woman
I feel for a moment a world no obligations, no commitment, no restrictions
But in my opinion, what IS a world such as this
Where you don't feel obligated to do something
Where you're not committed to someone...to something...to your words
Where your free to do ANYTHING...
The way I see it, we are all just human.
It's reality.
You, me, we...all of us are dependent, obligated, committed, and restricted...from or by someone or something. Whether its our family, some we love, companionship, our mistakes, society, the government, our thinking, money, passion or lack there of...

My Dear Atz,
It's great to read your writing
I haven't in so very long
The last poems were from high school
And mostly about times when things went wrong...
I love the images you vividly described
And the words to your feelings which you thoughtfully ascribed.
I picture you, in that empty cafe
Both in the night and in the day...
Skype~ing out to us on the phone
Knowing in heart, you're not alone
Telling me the story about the crows...
That your happy readers soon will know...
(hehehe... I couldn't resist)
Anyway, in many ways you are that independent woman
Almost always ready and with a plan
For your future days
And with all your accomplishments, you continue to amaze
Me.
All of us, really,
And we're just so proud
of You.
We love you
For being the "Independent" and "dependent" woman that you are.
