Sure of the road ahead
Striding, marching,
subjected to praises
Made bold in stance and
voice
Right-handed certainty
speaks of narrow-mindedness
Confidence suffused from
birth grows deftly
Nurtured, overworked,
unbalanced with chores
Yet perceiving the labor
one of love, no choice
Underpaid, unappreciated,
constantly busy
The right hand built on
mind’s assurance
Moved mountains, drained
oceans, flew miles
Unsure of road ahead
Tottering, tittering,
subjected to verbal abuse
Made ungainly in stance
and manner
Treatment of silent
unappreciation
Left hand, the neglected child of chores
Disused, underachieving,
underutilized
Lack of attention, the
antithesis of loving care
Unequipped to cater to
self, let alone others
Undeveloped muscles deter
duties with defiance
For the left handed,
reverse your brain
For the ambidextrous,
double the confidence
Right hand rules, being
the majority
--My dream has loved paper so much for so long because it gave influence to the parched voice of a fashionista poet. Finding this outlet, that voice is now replete with expressive sound.
