PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’ve designated this single place

A spot I like to go

When I want to disappear

From all I see and know

Sometimes I can’t face those

That know the truth of me

I can’t take their judgment

Of all that I’ve come to be

I hide my face at times

To distance myself from

Perceiving eyes

They always knew the truth

But all that came out were lies

I’m shameful, yes, but not enough reason

Haven’t done wrong, not even treason.

Can’t I live without the degree

So I won’t have to duck out in your company

Keep your lips at a lock

Just smile and hold in your ideas

That I don’t want to hear.

Let me show you myself on my own

So I don’t have to spend this life alone.
