Secrets Poem by Rani Turton
Secrets
I have been so many things in my life
A daughter, a worker, a beloved and a wife
I have sometimes sat down and wept
But that is a secret that should be timidly kept
I have often wanted somebody to reply
If all women were like me and if so why
Was I a loser? Was I wise?
That is a secret that I can summarise;
Insecurity, confusion, fatigue and while
I hid all this inside me behind a smile
My secret is simple and utterly pure:
Life is simply not sure;
I can choose to dropp out of the race
Or choose to go on at my pace.
Nice wording and great rhyme scheme. Best Wishez, Angel Of Darkness
Go on at your pace you will reach the corner and who knows whats around there 10 Chris
Supreme Revelation Ma'am. 'Insecurity, confusion, fatigue and while I hid all this inside me behind a smile'......My mom does that every time. Women poets are really a great boon for me...helps me have a better insight into their seemingly cryptic nature. Thank you for sharing.
A wonderful poem, Rani. I am awestruck by your lines ' can choose to dropp out of the race' Or choose to go on at my pace'. Very true, there can't be a third choice. This one is promptng me to go thro all your poems.
You wonderfully put down what it means to be a woman. So often defined by our roles, so often pushed when we need to walk at our own pace. Thank you for these lovely words, I enjoyed them and I look forward to reading more of your work over time. Peace, L&T
it's juss wonderful...u have so rightly put down the condition of a woman in these words...best wishes :)
