PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sometimes I feel like 

I spend every day 

defusing bombs.

I feel like it is my job

to determine 

which wire to cut.

But I don't always know,

so I close my eyes,

and pick one,

hoping the bomb won't explode.

But sometimes it does

and that failure 

falls on my shoulders. 

I never received training on this; 

my knowledge is self-researched.

I don't have any protection

from the shrapnel

that follows when I 

make a mistake.
