i want to tell them what i need to say
but i cant express my true thoughts
why cant i throw down the guards?
when i say it, though,
opinions fly like arrows
and miss the poised apples
instead pierce my vulnerable flesh
why dont they support what i need to say?
is this why the guards line up
and fill the turrets?
the image clouded
by smears from my swooping hand
reasons why i try to be
un-opinionated
when someone else needs to speak out most
because i am not an archer
and i wish they would choose other professions
because their defensive retorts
only make them feel better
and just barely
