Poem “My
Life” By Tamika Wright |
Desciption
of Submission: “a poem about my life” - Tamika
|
It was hard for me to grow up not knowing about me It was hard for me to show up to a life that wasn’t
me Looking at the wrong gender as if it were right But I am a girl I know this cant be right My mother said god made woman for men So if I don’t like them then should I be born again She said that it was wrong and she would never
approve And If I practice those type of things that I would
have to move So I kept it to my self and never shared the news But at the age of fourteen there was nothing left
to do So I stood up and said it I’ll do what I have to I
am a lesbian Ask me if I like girls and I will say yes I do This was more than a situation this was my
proclamation I felt good but at the same time my heart was
racing I had to move out so I stayed with nana but after 2
months things got better She asked me to come Six years later our love still gets greater she
says god I don’t understand her But thank you god that I made her |
