PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Learning to stand on two weak, complacent feet
Without letting them dance to your rhythmic hate beat
Tap ti-tee-tap tap
Tap ti-tee-tap
Like this
Like this
Like this
And like that
Never ok
Never enough
Not a word I can say
Your skull is too tough
So I bleed and I break, bend over and take for you
I plead and I cry, give up and sigh for you
Crossing all my lines in the hopes we will finish
Surprising the knowledge that I will diminish
In your anger and pain and words left unsaid
In your love and the hatred conceived in your head
Still I walk long these lines you have carefully painted
Across all the safe spaces you have scarcely tainted
Wondering why I should let it all go
Give up my own hatred and let you know
