Gentleman

Inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou

By Luxolo PoswaPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
I am not crying

Sometimes I wonder what women want from me?

I mean I’m not handsome, I’m no charming and I’m not muscular built

Maybe it’s because I’m a man, absolutely a gentleman

Some days I ask myself what do girls see in me? I'm not rich, I don’t have the greatest smile

nor Shakespeare personage

It might be ‘coz I’m a gentleman, yes indeed a MAN

Just think about it

Who likes a nobody from nowhere

But an extraordinary somebody from somewhere, wait

Am I that ‘body’?

Oh NO, it can't be. I can't be

Definitely a man that is gentle.
