I am ME
For I am FREE
Uncontested, **NEVER BESTED
I wanted to do a 10 word poem to end the night.

***** **** ***
Terms that we all know
Which only goes to show
The depths to which men go
To shame women although
They have mothers who
Get categorized that way too
But they act like who knew

*****, ****, ***
It has a certain flow
On and on we go
Tryin’ to bring ‘em low
But it’s not fair and yo
We need to take it slow
Before those labels stick
Let’s change our rhetoric

*****, ****, ***
People that we know
Use it frequently although
It shouldn’t be that way but yo
Guess that’s just how it go
We use it for ammo
When we refuse to grow
Change sometimes is slow

***** **** ***
Are terms that havta go
Why hold ‘em in escrow
For the sake of puttin’ on a show
Of put downs that’s below
The ladies we bestow
Those names on even though
They’ve become status quo

I may fall short on everything that's seems worth it.
But know,
When we got together.
I never said it would be easy,
But I'll always make every chance, worth it.
For I fall short of a God,
nowhere near perfect.
But through constant effort,
I'll make you happy.
Show you a headache of a husband that's worth it.
What I would say

at the core of my being is a beast
so selfish
it is unspeakable
yet so human
it goes without words


*oh to be loved.

I'll write one thousand bad poems
If that is what it takes to write a good one
I'll have a thousand bad loves
For the same reason
