How can you not go one poem without writing about heartbreak from some man?


I don't know, I don't think I can

Explore the depths of my feelings

Without the beating, numbing, feelings

Of being ignored by men.

The way society has began

With the begging and relying onto some man,

With the need still ingrained into me, I don't think I can.


Besides, I am a man.

I write what I can

About myself, a man

Who can never seem to be enough

For some man.
