Words Of My Father by poetictwenty(m): 5:52pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
Father's words are still inked in the pages of my heart. Words that became a map on my journey to manhood. Leading me throw the horror road of survival, And maybe, putting me on a success path. ... I was taught that men don't cry, So, I learnt how to lock my tears in my heart. Making my heart a cloudy sky, covering the beams of its sun. A sun that should have painted my face with peaceful smile. ... "Be strong like a man my son". I wore this word like a shoe, When life covered my path with thorns. With it, I fought the battle of survival in my darkest night, And watched in victory as the East birth a 'new sun'. .. Dear son, never forget that it's a man's world. These words wore me the regalia of a king. And put on my head the crown of pride, But, placed me on the throne without a kingdom. Until I realized that great kingdoms are made by humans who have more than three legs. Men who saw beyond their umbilical cord. ... Now I have learnt to see beyond the shores of Papa words. I learnt to cry through my pen, Hence, saving my heart from floods that is about to drown it. I grew stronger romancing my pen, And braver stitching my heart with poetic words. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
