Maybe I Should Have A Daughter
By Ode
Maybe I should have a daughter
With my dark eyes or hair
Sharing the same genes and habits
Some are contorted and some refined
Through her, I’ll atone for my all regrets
and the millions of jilted dreams
While causing more pains
That will be healed with the passing of days
I’ll show her how to follow the internet trends
As she could genuinely understand
And teach her to talk about parties and pretty boys
Like she would be truly satisfied
I’ll tell her to trust no confession
Nor any words vowed and elevated
But when love, love with determination
And without reciprocation expected
I’ll teach her how to survive in a world
That is dominated by men and the white
And defend her fragility using her integrity
And ridibund nature as a weapon
My fleeting and trifling being
Draws nearer to infinity in her heart’s beating
While the curse of death
Imposed on her before her first breath
