My Poems are Shy
I don’t write for the public eye
My poems are shy
They seek refuge
In the dot of i
Hiding in the curves
Of an impatient my
Why even share?
My stanzas yelp for help
But the adult is here
Give me the wheel, I can steer
Sanitize the words we fear
Leave that thought
Where no one can see
I think of all the uncensored poems
Hiding in me

My poems are shy, too. Thank you for articulating this.
Yes–and I think those uncensored poems are simmering and will sear the world, when poured out. I like the vulnerability in this work. Vulnerability requires great strength.
i remember this feeling. great job!
