You Can'T Pin Me Down

You can’t pin me down
I will slip away from your fingers
For I am a free thinker.
Ideas, I accumulate
My imagination is flamed
By my tots untamed.
You can’t pin me down
Today, I will bake cakes
Tomorrow, the books of Aristotle awaits
Then a conversation about planets and galaxies omniscient.
With my offspring.

You can’t pin me down
I am neither a poet of conventional order
Nor my writs are there to conform
I will challenge the ideas fixed
Through my stories and wit.

You can’t pin me down
For I am a wife and a mother first
Yet I will still challenge the dogmas, hatred and bigotry 
Through my writs and wit.
