Teased

an honest piece of my family and myself, just getting truths out of me.

 

 

 

 

In my family I am teased

By girls not so older than I

With a child on their hip

Or nursing a hangover cures

A woman my age

 

A person such as myself

 

What a shame what a shock

This surely can’t be truth

But in my eyes they see no lie

A woman my age

 

A person such as myself

 

Virgin still!

With my litany of loves

Yet no lover

What a shame what a shock

 

This surely can’t be truth

 

And I play no game

For my lack of touch

So they give advice

Delicate make up over eyes

Red or purple tinge on pursed lips

Painted style nails - Short hem skirt

The curve of tanned legs to work

Then private moments approach

Teasing tones turn luke warm…serious

Don’t say yes is you mean no

 

Cherish what you posses it’ll never return

 

Be happy for you, go forward for you

Never let any man decide the answer

To natural desecration of beauty

And the bowl, the light, the bottle

Are passed in free flow hands

Cheering voices, subtle smiles

Teasing words for our unending game

Push a blush to tan cheeks

Protection

Protection

Protection

Kid’s and diseases, to avoid at all cost

 

Show ‘em who wears those pants

 

Don’t let a black man go first

With fond smiles

Some sheepish blushed looks

My choices are accepted

As the happy time

With kindred souls turn to memory

This must be what girls go thru.
Wait I forgot..I went thru it. Mostly listening to guys lie about it. I like it because it's so innocent and the advice from those that have kids makes it seem so ironic. Here's where I had to think:

Kid's and diseases, to avoid at all cost
Show 'em who wears those pants
Don't let a black man go first

I said "O kaaaaaaaaay.. Uhm....." I had to think about it.
"She's a virgin.... talking about not staying one..... and OH! OKAY! I got it!"

That's how it went in my mind.
I felt a little like blushing at that one.

The way you have this laid out reminded me of a video where the words just appear on the screen and then disappear.
I can't remember the last time I saw this subject written so openly.
Nice one Ten!

Tenten.... I love this poem... I think that it is very well written and i love love love how you formatted it... Great Job!
"A person such as myself
Virgin still!
With my litany of loves
Yet no lover
What a shame what a shock
This surely can't be truth" I love these lines!
