Kenisha Shines Poet Free verse

Just want ,wanted to be heard

World knows the seven deadly sins-
lust,gluttony,greed,sloth,wrath,envy,pride.
A woman basic need to understood and being
heard  is  more deadly a sin
which burn the mind and heart to ashes.
Even the pious man  and lay man
has no difference when ridiculing
woman for her pain and emotions.
Has to smile beautifully  and talk sweetly
though burning alive inside and out.
He is smart and great as he silenced
the mind and heart of a woman
through his deeds of love and care.
Dare she squeals,will labelled as
stubborn and arrogant.
She should wallow and cry in agony
and not let out  and taunted as 
always ruminating the past ,as it hurts the pride
and ego of a man,as it makes him
to see his own truth and hypocrisy.
Man has thousands of ways to escape
but her,none ,if she manages ,will
called a tough  crack and a stone.
Woman is hard to understand says
the man,but did he ever care to listen
to her ..nahhh
lady ,thou speak,will be berated 
by people whose flaws are projected
and imprinted on thou.
Shhhhhhhh....thy lips are kissed
by someone’s ‘I’ and throttled
by wind of promises.
This world is a grayeyard of woman’s 
emotions ,desires,intellect etc and 
sinner is thou,woman,
for letting  thy mind and heart
waver in the wilderness and winds
of others wrong perceptions and
projections of one’s flaws.
So is it Right to be heard or
want to be heard..?
Say it Please....

Bill Baker July 12, 2025 at 8:57 PM I see your perspective clearly, my friend. I think it would apply to anyone that relies on the opinions of other know themselves. Women have been grossly mistreated my men for centuries. It is terrible to not allow a person to be who they are and express their thoughts without threat of harm. This was a meaningful poem that is thought-provoking, Kenisha. Thanks for sharing it with us, my friend.
