Poem with a Sour Taste
Let Me Not Say What I Want to Say
I have a response to that but I will hold my tongue
My mind is now reeling as my bell has been rung
Again I find myself baffled and again bemused
a mixture of confusion with a pinch of amused
Disagree as I will with the choices they make
a salty grain and a bittersweet pill I shall take
My opinion is meaningless and completely moot
but I won't let it take me down, I shan't give a hoot
Try and try again until I'm totally tried out
leaving behind the urges to swear, cry and pout
I know I can rely on the few who savor the rare
They shall support me with their words and with their care.

Post a CommentIt is sometimes hard to control our tongues but best when we do, especially when we are angry. Great job.
Great poem!
Poetry's all about emotion, so I like to see work like this where the writer doesn't hold back.
Very well said.
I totally understand the feeling!
This is a very interesting poem. I have felt this way also. Thanks, Tink..or Allena..:)
I can totally relate to the emotion there
Aw hell no. Say it.
