Poetry // the Big Picture

By Chineze @uhmayzinginez
THE BIG PICTURE
He said to focus on the big pictureAnd he was big in all the ways that it matteredBut he seemed to want tincturesOils and potions for all his woundsShe wasn’t ready to be martyred
He said to focus on his factionsAnd his acts encompassed her worlds permissiveBut he seemed to want dominationDictates and opinions for all her personalityShe wasn’t ready to be his submissive
Words and actions must alignThe fly and picture must be oneAll her troubles she must solveA man not boy he must become
A man he did becomeHer fears he put to restHer goals he did supportYes, a man he did become
