1. The Last Word
Voices in my head:
Not good enough
Not pretty enough
Not tall enough
Not fair enough
Not woman enough
Not wife enough
Not lover enough
Not mother enough
Not this enough
Not that enough
Not enough
Enough.
All it took was one word,
The last word,
I got to say it!
Today,
I am pretty enough
Woman enough
Lover enough
Mother enough
Partner enough
Human enough
Enough!
What a joyous word,
I say!

2. Patterns
It is not just rain drops
On roses
And whiskers on kittens
It is man to man
Father to son
Mother to daughter
Patterns of love
And evil.
The way you choose
The way you denigrate
The way you fight
The way you befriend
The way you write
The way you draw
The way you admire
The way you mock
The way you run away
The way you betray
The way you portray
The way you dream
The way you brag
The way you compare
The way you feel small
The way you escape
The way you cage
The way you hunt
The way you drink
The way you eat
The way you whisper
The way you talk
The way you snigger
The way you smile
The way you brood
The way you are silent
The way you wonder
The way you sleep
The way you wake
The way you laugh
The way you frown
The way you love
Or not love
Patterns-
Careful of
Patterns!
In life:
Sssssh
They are so
Transparent
To everyone
But you!
