A teenager’s sexual plight.

Who is my pop, mom?
When we are asleep,
 He has already left,
 Heaven alone knows to where,
 And when he does come home,
 That’s if he does,
 We are all sleeping alone.
 Where is mom when we are asleep?
 Neither Paul nor I come to know.
 I am, we are told that pops away,
 Earning money for our happier day,
 But till then how do we keep,
 Ourselves occupied is there a way.
I came across my neighbour’s son,
Who across the fence my heart had won.
Praise and lovely songs he would  sing,
And one day when his parents were also away,
He got me under his very warm wing.
 I flew across the fence,
 My kid brother fast asleep,
 Who cared then?
 Whether or not in loneliness did he weep?
 Soon time flew fast away
 And if I may say, hours flew,
 Like moments,
 To my neighbours son,
  I was glued, like two snaking monuments.
 I did not know what all he did,
 As I for it had also made a bid,
 Then that became our routine,
 As both of us were in our early teen
 So when mom came home,
 Just before that I was always in
 My bed smiling,
 How time we were beautifully whiling.
 I plugged my grades so did he?
 And he was a richer lad,
 So his pop wasn’t that mad.
 But I got kicks and scolding too,
 I was no more a virgin, no one knew.
 Till one day mom found out,
 It was then that I knew, she knew.
 The rich guy was making hay,
  When the sun was shining his way,
  I was now on all out and astray.
  I sulked and cursed and cursed,
 Ok, only cursed,
 How it is the boys get out.
 I repented but he relented,
 We both were now real strangers,
 He on his own,
 I was again left alone.
 I did not know what dad would think,
 He was not even aware,
 As he hardly ever had time for  forty winks.
 So I missed my pop,
 My mom was too busy,
 She again left me to have my own,
 Solitary sad and lonely life,
 Yes again all alone all alone.
  We should be aware,
 And take care of not losing our virginity,
 To just any damn person,
 Who simply does not care,
 But only thinks of his lusty sexuality.

    Very brave point if I should say so myself! I had a notion that only the conservative Filipina would talk that way!

    Yes, life is tough and may not always seem fair but we also have to make hard choices.
