Took my lunch break to sit in the park alone. Watched the ducks and felt the sun on my face. For twenty minutes, I wasn't a mom or an office worker or the girl who lets men slap her ass for cash. I was just me. A woman sitting quietly, wondering how all the pieces of my life fit together without breaking. The silence was louder than any club music, and for a moment, I could breathe without the weight of all my secrets. Back to the grind now. The real one, not the one on the pole.
