Far Fetched

You say you want to know me 

That's cute 
You want to know my life story 
You act like it's mandatory 
If I told you 
You couldn't conceive it 
So I'll just conceal it 
I can't help but envy 
Those who speak
My lips are too heavy 
With eyes staring
My past is too scary
To answer such questions 
I stumble in hesitation
If I gave you the invitation 
Inside to what happened 
To what is blackened and blue 
You still wouldn't have a clue 
It takes going through 
I wish my past was simple 
I wouldn't have to use symbols 
Or speak in subliminal 
Hoping you catch 
But that's far fetched

A Poem About Experience

The best instructor. Understanding is a life-long goal seems but ears are sealing wax closed - agendas, agendas, agendas. Everyone wants to lead but have not the acquired skills. Listening is passe, doing paramount - achieving is a whole other matter. Write on.. - allets -
