Poetry for Unity #6

 Wasn't Kidding


By Austin Ponder Collins


What to say

All I know is that

I'm a man in love

Who told me

Wasn't kidding

I was a woman pretending

Oh, I was a man

In love, in love

Oh, I was a woman pretending

When I turned around

And the truth was told

I was a real man

Out on bail in juries with a kiss on the cheek

With his mother standing over his name

Caught in a traffic on his way back home

Making his home

And his friends so jealous

Believing they have found they've found

Just a trail of broken bones

So much to find before I could be let down

So many call it a curse

But I know it's there to catch me

I've seen the light of daylight
