Description
The words are outBefore you even realize
The implications
Of what you have said.
You meant them
When you said them
Or you wouldn’t
Have said it all.
But the shock
On their faces
Sets off your alarms
And you glance around
Knowing you blasphemed.
You didn’t say anything
Outrightly bad,
You just…
Tiptoed around…
The norm.
And they stare at you,
Not quite believing
That you could say it;
That you even thought it.
Part of it’s because
You’re you, and part
Because it’s taboo.
Even the brave
Slink away from those eyes,
Because it hurts when
Someone sees you too well.
As their hackles drop,
You all know they have one,
But your sentiments choke
And they fester,
Unspoken.
