PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Passive is just the way the aggression takes hold

of the neck of frustration,

shaking it viciously

with hands of sarcasm.

Violence in the form of a teddy bear

silently plotting in the dark

to utilize all the creeping things

and boogey men

to exercise its fluffy, huggably evil will.

The mastermind composed

of fabric and cotton stuffing

bides its time

before striking at the core of its victim

by refusing to console.

The victim wails,

retreating into dark corners of the mind

where there are countless doors

to knock on to find

the hiding place.

‘Beware the jaws lined

with rows of sharp words’

written on the walls

in dripping shades.
