Compliance
Dare I say how I feel?
Exspose my inner being
to others seeing
that inside
I'm not stone cold?
Am I strong enough
to allow that I'm wrong
enough that the rest of
the world
appears loved and warm?
There will be no more argument
from these lips
think what you might
and do what you may
and I promise
I'll only utter a whisper
in defiance
for compliance
has become my middle name
Virtues of a fool
sleepwalks with his dreams
and the world it seems
pass' by before his eyes
while he quietly
fades...away
Others points in past
were well taken
but today
even when they
have their say
and are mistaken
I shall not
utter a single word
for this too...shall pass
