I am part a truth, part a lie, the seed of womanhood I wonder why unanchored I float like old driftwood I hear there is a place where truth appears as truth I see there is no map or everlasting proof I want to reap rewards for pain I have withstood I am part a truth, part a lie, the seed of womanhood. I pretend I have a preference for the human part of me I feel internal energy demanding to be free I touch the deep unknown and pure love soul to soul I worry for earth’s future in evolution’s hold I cry for little children and the legacy we leave I am part a truth, part a lie, the seed of womanhood. I understand that seeds sprout upward to the light I say the sky is grey to those with no insight I dream of honesty and the righteousness of men I try to not condemn my naïveté of then I hope to be remembered for doing what I could I am part a truth, part a lie, the seed of womanhood!

Thanks, Littlewing. There are a few drawbacks to being the way I am now but they say there's a reason for everything. |

Thank you, Bluesy. You've made me feel very welcome. I tell it straight which is a problem when it comes to poetry. Take care! |
