A Suggestion For Progression

by baskethead

Who am I, who am I? Just a girl with tear stained eyes Ruined and restless upon My woman's thighs Our love is shy... Tell me, how is your hatred Not a form of oppression We are supposed to step forward But where is the progression? Let me make a suggestion. This is not black and white Yet it's as simple as color, Just lay down the differences And respect each other. I'm as different from you As you are from me. Let me be.

your poem is heartfelt and deep. I love your use of rhymes and rhythm. You are lucky to have found love in a world so cruel. I know nothing of you or your lover but I am envious. Truly envious of a love frowned upon by society, burdened by ostracization yet a burden that doesn't have to be held alone. You are deeply rooted in emotion and you use your intellectual mind to speak your mind. An amazing poem from an amazing girl.
