Inspired by Langston Hughes “I, too”
“I, too” Poem on Dreams
Crystal Hua
I, too, have dreams.
I am one stricken by no voice.
They take no heed of these thoughts
At work, or with books,
But I look forward,
And hold my head high,
And see that light.
Next time,
They’ll let me paint portraits
Even if silence is the aura,
Nobody’ll shove
And say smiling,
“Miss, that ain’t a task for you.”
Then floods work with books.
Besides,
They’ll see capable hands tending
And realize they were wrong—
I, too, spread dreams.
