Analysis of Diary of a virgin (Choice)



Call me an amateur, I don't care.
Believe am not exposed enough, Thank you.
I can't just stand the chance of getting manoeuvered by a man or lady am not sure we will last till sunset.

Call me a village girl.
Call me an uncivilised boy.
I still stand on my words.
The worst that could happen is breaking each other's heart.

Let's forget about tradition and culture.
Let's forget about home training for now.
Let's forget about unwanted pregnancy for now.
Let's forget about amateur mind for now.

Do you think I'll stand the chance of having your DNA in my body by just having a five minute pleasure with you.
Capital NO!!!
Oh! You think you have the money to entice an innocent teenager like me?
Sorry, I wasn't brought up to depend on someone else's wealth.
So why do you think I will want to have your DNA in my body because of your money.

Call me Mummy's pet, Thank you.
I will appreciate you happily.
Yes, I understand that their nothing like being a virgin.
And this twenty one century.
No one expect you to be a virgin before getting married.
But don't you think I have my pride to keep?

But this is a matter of choice.
I don't want to have your DNA in my body.
And that is my choice.
You have to respect my choice or
You should never exist in my life again.
Choice matters.

About this poem

This poem is about a Teenager's choice on keeping his or her pride. It emphasize more on how we mistook civilization for losing our pride and how virgins are seen as an amateur or not exposed enough. How they get mocked if they say the truth about themselves, without caring to believe it's their choice.
