A Him
She doesn't love a him
a him who makes her smile
and says her eyes looks like honey
a him who understands her
through
and through
She doesn't worry about her very first kiss
To be locked in that supposed bliss
She worries about uncertainty
And the thought of being alone.
To be trapped in a cotton cage
wanting to throw in the bone
And she dreads the moment when the people who made her feels safe
takes away a piece of her essence
She dreads when someone looks into her sorrowed eyes
confirming what her soul knew
was already to be true
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
