Day 14- 30 for 30 [National Poetry Month]

They keep asking me

Who are you dating?
Are you a lesbian?
Oh, well When are you getting married?
Haven't you found a man that will go out with you?
Well, you know you are too picky- you should lower your standards.
Nowadays, you don't need a man, just go have some babies.
When are you going to have some babies?
You know you aren't getting any younger baby
You know with modern science as it is you can have a baby well into your 70's
Right.
What they are not asking me is
How are you?
What makes you happy?
What have you contributing to society?
Are you ok?
How's your spirit?
Do you need a hug?
How about a laugh?

What they are not saying is
You are enough with out and despite all them unanswered questions.

But they keep asking me
And I'm not telling
