I'm a disappointment!
An ancestral reject.
A stain on your white.
The darkest spots on your illuminations.
The biggest mistake in your life.
The imperfections, in your perfection.
Listen, please.
Let me talk.
Maybe you will see beyond your resentment.
For the blackness of the sheep is it's innate uniqueness.
Please, listen
All I want is your attention.
I love you.
I see the fire in your eyes,
It fuel the words you spit,
The bitterness from your soul,
The heaviness in your heart at the sight of my appearance,
inflate your hormones.
I know you see yourself as a birth canal while I see you as a mother.
The face I have fit the man that stamped your soul with hatred.
I know my voice brings uneasiness to your soul.
I see the emptiness, It fuels the hatred.
Please, let me talk.
You can hate me but don't destroy my confidence
Don't shut me up.
I love you.
I know you see me as an object.
My gut, disgust you.
You hate my sight, it blinds your sanity.
I'm not pleasant as a buddy,
I'm only useful in production.
I know. I'm damaged
A waste. An unloved child!
Literate but uncultured.
Please, let me talk
Don't judge me with prejudice
Please, listen.
Maybe, you can hear the voice of my imprisoned soul
Crying out to be saved
I love you.
I see your struggles, your pains and shame.
I see your wet pillow every night,
I see you border on anorexia and depression,
I see the fake smile you put on all day long.
Please let me talk.
Listen to me.
This too shall pass,
Don't give up on me just yet.
I love you.

This is beautifully written. This is an equal blend of Hope and sadness yet there is a bit of happiness hidden somewhere in the poem. Even though I don't say it as much as I should, i love you. Thanks for this piece.

The writer I knew before dsw isn't the writer I'm seeing now. This is good. This is very good.
Well if it wasn't good it won't make first place, so that just proves how good it was. Well done Bukunmi.
