Single Again <br />by Barbara Lynn Terry <br /> <br /> <br />I am walking away from all the bad <br />things that are making me sad. <br />I was told in a word, not to be <br />the very essence that I sme. <br /> <br />Even though she pretended to accept <br />the male to female concept, <br />she still did not find me whole, <br />the girl that is my soul. <br /> <br />She kept telling me I was inept, <br />her woman I was to be kept <br />under her male ego domination <br />giving a superior connotation. <br /> <br />She thought I could be taught <br />how to be a submissive tart <br />but she had no idea I could not, <br />and would not, play that part. <br /> <br />So back to single I go, <br />taking things at the ready, and going slow <br />so as not to stub my toe <br />and my journey deliberate and steady.<br /><br />Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/single-again-2/
