Hush Little Baby (Part 1) Poem by Kelvin Owusu

Hush Little Baby (Part 1)

Rating: 5.0


I said yes rather than no
I'll take this as a test, to prove
whether or not I am and if not
that I can be a man,
the man that he wasn't
or could ever be.

I won't make the same mistakes
I won't make selfish claims
no excuses will I gather,
to make a plea of insanity
just to ensure an escape route
Out of this reality

although I'm not ready, I will be.
Although I'm still one myself,
I will grow in time, a knight
in shining armor
Yes, a plant, of a surprised seed
I hope I'm ready

One is always ready for growth and maturation, but never kill off the wonder of the child inside. Enjoyed this poem.

This is very nice, Kelvin. This is a very strong determination to be in front of a little baby as in your title. I find the title very intriquiing. Are you declaring this to your girlfriend or are you addressing yourself? Nice way...
