Notes About The Poem
REALIZE YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED.

Know Your Worth

I stood at the door and knocked..

five hundred years...no one told

me to come in- no one told me

what's yours is mine.

I stood at the door and knocked.

The keys were in my pocket.

When I realized,I could unlock

the door and go in. Squatters

had entrance gained.

They changed the locks

and cast me into the rain.

If you knock three times

and no one answers...

"check your pockets"...

this is your house,

do not fail to unlock-it...!
