PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

don't speak

from behind my curious eyelids

I ever so cautiously peak

I've always felt shallow

even before the eyes of the meek

maybe that is a symptom of my being weak

It's not entirely true so don't visually cringe

and shriek

do not dare to label me some sort of poetically

portrayed freak

look out for yourself mon ami

I feel the approach of a nasty mean streak

I've run out of defensive anger

so I'll hamper my quelling conscience

so to  put a stop to this lethal leak........
