I Do Not Want A Good Man Poem by Lola Sanchez

I Do Not Want A Good Man



I do not want a good man
no gentle-man for me
I need no doors opened
no chairs pulled out

no touchy-feelly conversations
no handing me tissues
no ordering for me at the bar

I'd rather have, if I may,
a man that knows his evils
who is aware of his darkness
-that darkness we all have-

I want a man that knows his shadows
that has looked at them
sat with them,
and still chose to walk in the light
