Unnoticed Options

[Aphrodite]

I want to pull my body up from
my toes and over my head,

so I am inside out. To hide eyes of
self-deprecation and ears blasting

with screams of lies and deception.

I want to bury the foul stench of hypocrisy
heaped high on plates of selfishness,

which paralyzes from dishonesty
as my skin crawls with sneaky spiders

leaving every hair standing.

To be small and inanimate,
let me feel nothing, let my heart be hollow

to never bleed.

Like a bouncing ball, round and perfectly
unnoticed,

I want to roll away and hide.

Often the need for escape is the inspiration for a great write. Whether into fantasy, adventure, love or inner turmoil, it brings out the emotions. You've let youself 'feel' this write. It has come from within. Very provocative!

Hello 4rum,

I appreciate you commenting on my poem and "feeling" it.

I look forward to reading some of your work soon!

Take care.
