Andrea Herrera Poet I do not know?

Traveller

Maybe if I started to use the “he”
They’d never think that it’s actually me
Because whenever I would use “she”
I’m being a “girl”, emotional and cheesy
But, what if I use the “it”?
Could that probably mean I’m nothing?
Maybe I should not use anything?
Does that mean I should stop writing?
When I say writing, you’d think,
She’s not even one, definitely needs a shrink
But who needs one
When tomorrow you won’t even see the sun?
And long before it is even dawn
I would travel the void, all alone…

Women are too often taken for gender rather than worth. (Yes, horribly up to date, sorry) But even sadder is that 'it'. Your poem proves you are far more than an unemotional nothing. Poets should never travel alone - unless their heart has a vice-like grip! .
