Upside Down

When my mother had me,
it was a breech birth.
That means I came out
feet-first.

I often think about how I began
and how others began.
If you think about it,
I came out the right way.
We walk with our feet on the ground.
It makes no sense to start face-first.
Yet I've always felt upside-down.
