Man
I accepted his explanation to stay inside
He is a boy of course, he can be outside
Boys are strong and powerful
They have the luxury of inherited freedom
To be and see beyond the horizon
Without restrictions to their own being
I long to be a boy to go outside
Being inside was like being in a crowd
Girls are delicate and fragile things
Everyone around reinforced such things
Your hair is beautiful! That’s a pretty dress
A show-piece for my mother’s glory
A woman now and it still feels the same
He is a man now and a successful one
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Comfortable with his life without a son
I love and treasure my own two sons
My strength and power is because of them
A woman of pride and admiration of them
That journey to this point was the lesson
A temporary place on this planet for me
A woman, an aunt, a sister, a mother, I am
Trying my best to not want to be a man
This is just short term I tell myself
Someday I will be a strong, powerful man

About Me
About me
I have a passion for words and have developed that passion in the past 10 years. I have no formal qualification in the topic. I had a strong affinity with "English" as a subject at school and I did tertiary study where I wrote reports and assignments which was a great experience for me in refining my writing style. After that study, I was really keen to write creatively. I came up with my own style of poetry writing. Here I am now.
