I stuttered
I stuttered I stared I touched something, Something for which I thought I no longer cared In the midst of oo’s and awes In the lines drawn I drew myself outside the frame So did I lose it? Am I reckless? Do I wantonly pursue it? Is the door closed or has it just been modified Was I right the whole time? Could I be wrong now? To quote myself I dig, I dig on the hidden her Stunned by the private truth The honest portrayal of self I saw That thing I touched when I was invited in I went but I only toed the water Should I have dove into the deep I stuttered I stared You touched in me something Something for which I no longer cared In the midst of panic and fear With a gauntlet drawn I pushed and broke away I may have lost it Reckless in my thoughts and actions Would you still use it? My closed doors now open You were right the whole time I want what I think to be wrong now. I stutter I stare…
