Look At Me.
Look at me?
Yes look at me
What do you see
A woman, female,
Gentle, femininity
Perfection at any cost
You see that in me
Giving, affectionate
Nurturing, sensual, soft
Paying the price
Now my soul is lost
Hating this skin
For the trouble it brings
For me, and this child within
We pay for all sin
He who cares naught
As I tear at my outer
Fear, anger, outrage
At the lies I was told
I hate him, I hate him
Turning hate inwards
Tearing at my skin
Unleash this nightmare
Aids will ravish us both
There is no escape
Ah! but wait, was there
Something you missed
Did you not see
The determination, resilience
Undeniable, Strength
Residing deep inside
Of Me!
Look at Me?

Wow! This is a poignant write, Milli. Sadly enough, Africa is overwhelmed with this disease. You did a fine job in driving home your point.
ReplyDeleteThank you Crystal. I wanted to make an impact and thanks so much for the reassurance that I did it.
