Composure

Date: 20.11.2007
Time: 00:55 a.m.

Come take advantage of me
I am waiting to be manipulated
Fed lies spewed out of malice
And told only what I wish to hear.
Come feed off my cheery smile
I am waiting to be robbed
Told deceitful stories
And have words twist my thought.

Come stare as I am vulnerable
I am waiting for the blow
That will strike right out of the blue
When I am not needed any more.
Come cower as I keep looking
My penetrating glare burning through façades
I see through the deception
As I have learnt my lesson now.

My silence stems not from fear
But from enjoyment at the discomfort
Caused to your cowardly mind
As you never dared and do not, even now.

End: 1:00 a.m.

Blah. I hate you for writing my poems.
'Come take advantage of me'
'Come feed off my cheery smile'
'Come stare as I am vulnerable'
'Come cower as I keep looking'
'My silence stems not from fear
But from enjoyment at the discomfort
Caused to your cowardly mind
'

The last line, for one.

........ it's hard when you are one with what is happening to others in the world, and feel the punishement, manipulation, the malice; vulnerable you wait for the blow. Hoping for the Karma you are not sure of coming to make things right in your time.
It's hard to be strong when you see clearly.
