Man-child , I was called
Man I was but not a child
What qualifies me as a man?
Is not my masculinity
But certain traits
I might have inherited
Is being macho a virtue?
How about woman-child?
Does the expression exist?
A man or woman child
Except for their gender
They are not different
What makes a man or a woman
Described
As man or woman child?
Is it the way they
Are brought up?
or branded by society
Do we give up
Or find out why
If sincerity & innocence
Are ingredients
Of importance
I would rather remain a child
Than become man or woman
Or creature of any kind
