With her smooth gentle voice
she caressed me
and whiled away my time,
I was lacking discipline and passion
for the lack of principles
I was slack and opportunities
passed by.
Squandering the little liberty
I had in pride
I wasn't creative,
thinking I was not educated.
Thinking age had caught up on me
I couldn't challenge myself
nor think out of the box.
Not realizing perception and perspective
I allowed gender roles and number factors hold me bound.
