Little Buckaroos

i am powerful
vulnerable
ready to cry
at the drop of a hat
no one ever said
buck up little buckaroo
so I didn’t learn how
and now
to try
to teach myself
in the midst of the storm
is taking so much
out of me
and my children
cry out
save me
save me
and I can barely hear
their voices
from the sound
of the wind
in my ears
coldly
boldly
i must
say
save yourselves
buck up
little
buckaroos
