When I Become a Woman~ By Daniel Ajayi

11/1/2018

0 Comments

 
A woman knows uberty source
And learnt the tradition of attractiveness
A woman sees treasures of a man
And love to sail to a place of calmed peace
 
When I become a woman
I want to be more just than a womb man
And teach the culture of generations
I want to put kids on my lap to pat
And enchant prayers that find-
Its way to the veins of their destiny
 
A woman verifies pains of agony
And sweat out to put meat on the table
A woman smiles with scent of different fervour
And her heart bigger than the world
 
When I become a woman
I want to be the voice of unheard wails
And happily plough for food in every soil
I want to stretch stretches to those in need
And embrace heart that sink with bitterness
While being a woman.
