Poem

“What Kind of Man”

By Lacey Robinson

 

 

 

Desciption of Submission: “Poem based on the thought process one goes through to find a positive male gender model as a biological female.” - Lacey

 

 

 

What kind of MAN will I be??

Sounds so trivial when …

All these people are dying overseas.

To whine and complain…

Is worse than participating.

 

So, what kind of MAN will I be??

Recessed in my corners…

Keeping to myself - while sayin’ nothing.

To hide and refrain…I say again…

Is worse than participating.

 

But, what kind of PERSON will I be??

If the unknowns betray &

I am NOT truly me?

Others - they only seek to destroy …

And dilute my feelings…

 

So, what kind of PERSON would I be??

If I gave them what they need…

Only what they think they see?

Just an agonizing deception &

Someone not worth knowing…

For he is not a man indeed.
