Poems
May 2013
Words of the father shape the son no matter how nonchalantly they are given.
I do not remember where we were.
I can not fathom why you said it.
I do not recall if I was crying.
But I do know that you were drunk.
And I know that these words shaped my life.
From the moments they left your lips
To this moment and beyond.
"Son, complaining only makes you look like a *****"
I never complain even when I can barely stand.
My tongue remains stilled.
Weakness is not something a man possesses.
The world has enough boys.
