PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's all an uphill battle.

A war within the mind.

Trying to find your way.

Do what's right.

Don't be a slut.

Don't be a prude.

Be you.

Be you,

But don't.

Fit the mold.

Say the right things.

Never slip up.

And when you do,

make sure no one saw.

Love God.

Love yourself.

Or don't.

We're all damned anyway.

Wait, who said that?

That's not me.

Not who I am.

Not the way I was raised.

I'm slipping,

slipping from home,

down an endless sand dune

and it cuts and cuts

every grain you pass

it cuts
