Guilty Consciousness

A tight smile,
Choking on denial,
Vocal cords constricted,
Orchestrating what is depicted.

Simple and easy style,
Guarded while on trial,
Moving forward scripted,
Internally more afflicted.

Striving to be versatile,
In a straight jacket all the while,
With head lifted,
There is no evidence to be convicted.
