PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m in a cocoon

Lost in my thoughts

I tell my mother that everything

Is so much better.



I look around

At what I’ve achieved

And ignore the voices that try

To appease

And tell me I’ve come far.



Constantly living inside my mind.

I will distance myself from this world

Blind and deaf

And numb

I will not be part of anything

Nor anyone.



And I will open my body

But my secrets will remain in tact

A part of me that cannot be exploited

Or touched or mocked

Or attacked



I want nothing to do with you people

You,

Opportunists

Who revel in each other’s failure

And delight in one-another’s falls

I will not denounce myself

To the four-legged beast

That is the majority

Of human kind
