Should thine rhymes be a labyrinth and divulge such complexities that one cant comprehend Or should they flow and elegance as if written from Shakesperian pen Or should they be simpler and have no tambour And use little words that we can understand faster No-blunt-short they should be Without those silly metaphors and similes Or should they articulate messages veiled amongst words and phrases And have us concealed in our thoughts for ages Should they be pretty and make us smile with their giddy jokes Or ugly and make us frown because the truth makes you choke Better yet happy they should be like ice cream on a summers day Or sad like a breakup on February's special day Whatever path you choose to believe A poem not meant for you are words fit for me Let A poem be and let it words breath

What is
A veil I hide behind to keep me safe From crooked smiles and laughs I get throughout the day I pretend to bend and tie my shoe Dodging, but listening to the conversations that come through No Integrity, No Truth in the world no more With the way those sapiens talk all they can do is leave sores No more can a honest word leave ones lips Only phrases that can deliver something ludicrous Like Cetus they birth words more and more And what is born are monsters that feast on ones core But silent I say, No words do I speak And I just as wrong for deciding to be weak
