Maybe It is My Fragile Male Ego
i must assume
my writing’s worth is rendered less
because of gender
and colour
should i be saying that?
am I showing an uncomfortable edge?
i do know,
i do see and accept my privilege
but experiences –
are no less real
and a lifetime of –
well, life! it means i do feel
i am not, ‘on trend’
or basking in the latest fads
and that it seems, is too bad
i know you can see my droplets of resentment
but it feels like –
people playing their card
ones that separate people into groups
and forget that as individuals,
we all have experiences and we all have hearts

Of course! And you don’t have to explain at all–that’s the beauty of poetry. We will get our own meanings from it and be at peace with that. 🙂
