with lies on the tongue, it’s only just begun getting juicy
licking the lips of cunning
it is with reservation I speak
lulled into comfort, I’m jolted by facts
you are on the hunt
with my head held low, I seek to evade notice
sinsiter greed, I’m grateful not to be too pretty
being beautiful gets you noticed, I prefer to be invisible
interjecting need I feel your ferocity
your anger builds and I know it
the little hairs on my neck rise
I’m cautious within my world to be less
attractive guilt, to be seen
on the radar I cringe
and the doctor in her dull voice says what’s troubling you
where to begin, I’ve beaten the odds
my behavior once reckless, managed to stay alive
still, I’m deeply shaken inside
