5. Masculine by Nayyriah Waheed :
|
|
|
|
|
|
there has been so many times
|
|
|
|
|
|
i have seen a man wanting to weep
|
|
|
|
|
|
but
|
|
|
|
|
|
instead
|
|
|
|
|
|
beat his heart until it was unconscious

Poem by Rupi kaur:
|
|
|
|
|
|
when it came to listening
|
|
|
|
|
|
my mother taught me silence
|
|
|
|
|
|
if you are drowning their voice with yours
|
|
|
|
|
|
how will you hear them she asked
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when it came to speaking
|
|
|
|
|
|
she said do it with commitment
|
|
|
|
|
|
every word you say
|
|
|
|
|
|
is your own responsibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when it came to being
|
|
|
|
|
|
she said be tender and tough at once
|
|
|
|
|
|
you need to be vulnerable to live fully
|
|
|
|
|
|
but rough enough to survive it all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when it came to choosing
|
|
|
|
|
|
she asked me to be thankful
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the choices i had that
|
|
|
|
|
|
she never had the privilege of making
