Surrender

Pouring down to the depth of my soul

                                  Struggling to give up a mighty position

                                To let this long driven desire take control

                                     Humbling it is to my retrospection

                     Never timid, this deep voice appraises demands and opinions

                                       Which destructs my discretion 

                       Moments such as this, redefines the certainty of my division

                           Such as not being so humbling with tamed aggression

                                    Set in the ways of self, my flame divides

                                 Commonly set in the way of two, the fire burns

                        It was decisively made to stay in a woman's place on her side

                            And so the lesson continues to train the flame to learn

                                                As it foolishly burns

People reading my poems and even commenting means the world to me. Honestly if I didn't write this, I would get lost too lol. But in all my poems that I feel are complex to comprehend, I leave a comment telling what the poem is about. Once mote, Thank you very much.

Pace Ink-U-Script Date: 7/22/2013 3:11:00 AM Excellent way of articulating what this poem is about in your view. Its hard to find that man that was raised up in a traditional sense. "Taking care of the household, being the "head." I truly understand the meaning of this poem. I love how you manage to state the problem and the way you solved it. It's funny as we continue to grow in life we become stagnant and set in our ways. Mostly its due to life experiences.

I would like to thank you so much for reading my poem and commenting. I am also glad you enjoyed it. Again thank you.

This poem basically describes a strong woman that is use to living life as both rolls. But falls into a relationship where she won't allow the man to be just that and feels that if she gives up her power then he would be in control which ends up dividing the two but she has a moment of clarity and realizes that when there is a real man she needs to only play the part to a woman Login to Reply
