Do What You Are Supposed To Do

do what you are supposed to do
no matter what
like is not the key
in understanding true duty

finish the work
and do it well like mama's
best daughter

and then submit
all that you have to offer

when this burden is over
go back to your room
and write
those unfinished lines
of the best poems
of your life
