PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m a total beast;

I’m that raw animal

of primal urgency

you have learned to fear

and all your

psychology classes

can’t prepare you

for the mental torment

ambivalence

and confusion

will become code words

I’ll hear

the whispering

and use it

as a cue to know

when to run

hushed words

are spoken about me

and I’m content

to just let it pass

there’s no real

need for

any other battle

the fighting will

finally halt one day

don’t know when
but the confidence

I feel

has steadily

remained buoyant
