PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don’t want to choose

Being put into the space where

I can either be successful or stay at home

I can either live my dreams or stay stagnant

You keep saying

“If you want to be that Manager, super star

you won’t have enough time for kids”

that kids might not be in my future

if

I choose to be

hardworking

driven

if I choose to want to have it all

but what is having it all?

Why must I choose between having a precious gem that I bring to the world and being a successful working woman?

Why must I choose between having a mini me walking around

Living out my values

and being a cheerleader

or

making more money.

what is to say that

You

You, man in my life

Cannot stay home

I will make more money than you

I will be moving through the working world

Like fire through a forest

I will get to the top

In a flash because

I am smart

Driven

Hardworking

And you

Man in my life

Are not going to stop me

I will have it all

But I need you

To be with me

On the same page

On the same path

Supporting my dream

because,

Without you

None of this will be possible

I cannot do it alone

No matter how hard I work

No matter how driven I am

No matter how much I want it

I need

You

To be with me

So,

Are you coming?
