Society’s hard catechism
In a land afar in a country named Greece,
Fate had some fun and my parents teased.
In the game of love beginning with a kiss,
Mother became pregnant filled with bliss.
So, a child was born (me) named Elias,
I grew up with love and so many fears.
I was not aloud my feelings to show,
Forbidden to express, emotion’s flow.
Years gone by and my heart, as rock,
Anything of emotions I had to block.
In time, I do come across romantic love,
Feelings and emotions a gift from above.
What is the way for a man in love to act?
I was raised and indoctrinated to be hard!
Wrestling my consciousness without answer,
My love life seems to be one hard endeavor.
Time did passed, and now in love alone,
Why from loving feelings I’m an orphan?
The human side of me has taking effect.
And in those emotions I feel like a reject.
Here is me, consoled with a river of tears,
Across is my enemy with details of fears.
At that moment I knew I was not alone,
I was seeing myself in the form of clone.
Truly which one am I, questioning myself?
Am I the one in tears, or the cloned self?
Which is my reality? Witch one I like best?
The one of stone, or the emotionally messed?
I would give anything to be the one of stone,
My heart is disagreeing pointing another road.
I know I’m a spirit in a human body with a soul,
I am in the school life to learn everything whole.
Through pain I’ve found trust, in emotions love,
Learned compassion and love coming from above.
I know, I’m part of the divine and in that I must,
Understand divinity by giving my total full trust…

About this poem:
Growing up as a child in a society where a boy is not suppose to cry
I did fall few times, with different understanding giving another try

I wish I could see that on every man woman and child.
In you me and so many others, feelings overflow in parallel lines
Yet we keep beauty and things to our-self!!!
It is perhaps because we are very scared,
Know there is no value on a hidden shelf?
My sincere thanks to all again
