#intimidating
I knew a witch once, of course she was a good witch, a white witch or so she said Although I noticed if you ever ****** her off, she wouldn't be long turning into a Black witch Suddenly she was going to use her power and put a spell on me and I'd be sorry "Yeah, yeah, yeah", I thought, "there's always the scary mask, isn't there" No matter where you go in this world You go to a solicitor/ a Lawyer and they pull out all the legal jargon to bamboozle you with You go to the Tax Office and it's all Taxspeak, they speak in a strange language all their own They look human at first but then, then they pull on the scary mask You go to church and it's all so called Godspeak from out of the Bible They dress in fancy robes and speak down to you from a pulpit And of course, the church is very big and well, you! you're very small And the world likes people made small...the smaller the better Yea! there's always the scary mask But what about the human behind the mask Where's the human that was... that was once a child.

There's always the Scary mask
It's rather scary, New faces that you've never seen. No traces of the memories. A blank canvas. Friends to make. Hearts to break. Rather, my heart, I should say... It's rather scary.

First Day
I see hidden things I'm looking into my soul What should I see there It is intimidating It is impressive to view To actually see You're own true identity You're very own self Is it worth the look to see To see who you really are To feel your own soul Open and vulnerable Opened for viewing Take the time to see inward...

Open Up - Haiku
Your tone was like a blade, that skimmed her skin. Your words had cut deep, stabbed her heart; scarred her soul and embedded itself into her memory, playing like a loop in her head. For your words are now ghosts that hunt her in the darkest of times, making her sweat smell like terror.

Intimidating Person
I felled and heard claps. I cried and heard laughs. Was I SUBJECT to them ? Or VICTIM to life... Asked for directions, Being sent to maze. Felt loneliness of crowd, While chasing my CROWN. Was I Intimidating? Or talking is all what they got !!.. Still rise above of all, By listening to the songs of my soul. All the noise dies down. When they lead me HOME.....

Bully
A brief flash Of brown And blue I saw her She saw me too I didn't mean to look To stare? But in that moment We were both In err

I See You
I get embarrassed when you read my poems And you know they're about you. I get shy and nervous and scared you'll run away. I don't have the words to say How much I love you But I try when I write to you Things I think you'll never read And then you see them and my head spins. Is it too much? Can you love someone too much? Is my love intimidating? Probably. There's a lot of it to give. But if it's intimidating to you then maybe You don't deserve it. Maybe Are you overwhelmed by your love for me, too?

Overwhelmed
She resonates intimidation, Playfully, Air of confidence Strewn within Loose, effortless hair. A smile warm And attractive Despite imperfect teeth. Wings; black and inked Make her eyes fly. She's alive with voice, Drawn images Making their ways on to skin. Alive with enthusiasm For all things smoked. And it's impossible Not to light her cigarettes- Which you give to her- Without some sensation Of love. As you watch, Her lips clasp the filter: Pulling in fire to light Her buzz. You want to be a part Of the same songs she sings. You want her in your life As a constant. Almost like I know I used to be, Except your craving for her Doesn't diminish After large doses of time. I'm a novelty, Sizzling out. She's a drug, An addiction Just beginning. And we both know How you are About those.

I'm a Novelty, Sizzling Out
Oh, shivering cold, Oh, lingering end. Oh, terminus untold, Oh, verminous fiend. Dear and everlasting trend, Severe, loving old friend.

Oh, you.
a thick layer down, and a thick layer up, to look scary and intimidating it's the goal, but the magic isn't working when you're around, because you see past my flaws and straight to my heart.
