Short Story

I Am All the March Sisters

picture of the March sisters from Little Women

I come across an online quiz,

Which March sister are you?

And I’m not sure how to answer

Because it depends on my mood.

Some times I want the nice things

And the fancy parties

And the glass of champagne

And I am Meg

Other times I just want to hide from the world

And bury myself in music

Until I forget about all the judging eyes

And I am Beth

Other times I am the writer

Scribbling away

Trying to get all the stories out

And I am Jo

Other times I hate everything I write

Wondering at my arrogance

And I am Amy

Burning it all into oblivion
