Me Me Poet Rhyme

Summer of 64

Bussed in is what they call it way back when

Busted mouth, broken chin 

Where we the reason of everybody’s sin

Can you please just let me in,

Don’t wanna get beaten again .

Doors breaking, my knees a shaken

Don’t know how much more I’ll be taken ,

So I was sent to change the world 

Im not a hero , I’m just an little girl 

I was told I made them url

Round and Round but not a twirl 

Fighting for this equality, what in the world.

Susan Ashley February 23, 2025 at 6:56 PM Dear Me Me, I remember those days of forced bussing, threats and realities of physical violence, and can only imagine the terror experienced by the children involved being forced to attend schools across towns and cities to neighborhoods not their own. Your poignant poem captures the angst of a child in this dire circumstance with soulful finesse. “I’m not a hero, I’m just a little girl” is an emotional gut punch. Impactful poetry. Warmest wishes, dear poet.. ~Susan
