Poems
Dec 2012
Sweatshop.
My fingers bleed.
Back hurts.
Breathe fumes.
Never sleep.
I can't be a mother.
A child.
The breadwinner.
A human.
I make 13 cents.
Every hour.
Everyday.
For what?
I'man exploit.
A worker.
Mental.
Broken.
I've been hit,
Broken down,
Touched.
*****.
They steal from me.
My hope.
Education.
My life.
I can't eat.
I can't sleep.
Get back to work.
Or get lost.
