Am I really

Content

Happy

Or have I

Been down

Too

Long

Had my

Perception

Viewpoint

Distorted by

Years of

Poverty

Solitude

I say I am

Happy with only

Me

But am I

Everyone else

Says

No

Are they

Wrong

Misinformed

Or have I been

Too long

Lost in the

Dark

Forgotten how sweet a

Kiss

Tastes

Forgotten how warm a

Woman's embrace

Can

Be

Been too

Long

Alone

Forgotten the way it

Can be

Being

Together
