PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

should I make the attempt to call out so to be heard

should I cross that fine line with but the injection

of a single word

who but I would suffer in the eventual ridicule

and would such an open admission put the cart

indeed before the bull

just when I think I can

I hold back for I know  I could never willingly be

that cruel

I am merely a mortal woman and this double edged blade is  

my only available tool

so even when you accuse unjustly I continue to hold onto

my conscience cool

and secretly get my own back for only I know the truth as to who

is really playing the part of the fool.......
