Keep the Peace

Keep the Peace

A Poem by STAND.STILL
"

Written in about 20 seconds, overwhelmed with the need to impress.

"
Negative energy flows through 
The very tips of my fingers… 
As I type, write… lie? 
It is not in my body! 

In her eyes I seem a sinner 
Thinner… my mind grows as I 
Explode, untold stories in my mind 
I wish to release and live in peace 

Why am I misunderstood? 
Why not finish what could 
Have started, bombarded I feel! 
I must reveal, not conceal, for what is real 

“Keep the peace,” I repeat, as I weep 
Unable to say what is on my mind? 
In time, I sit and rhyme to unwind 
What has crossed the line 
To “keep the peace” and a sane state of mind.
