Socially Acceptable Demeanor

Don’t you see how much it hurts?
Suppressing a part of me?
So you can be comfortable?

It isn’t like changing shirts,
easy, peasey, one, two, three,
fit into a neat label.

Shall I cut my heart in thirds?
Feed the offensive to birds,
and sooth the rest words?

Can’t you see how much it hurts?
Murdering a part of me?
So you can stay comfortable?

    ‡ Why Would Your Priceless Heart Have To Be Cut In Thirds ? I Hope It Isn't Anything Bad, Sweet Beautiful Brittany. Your Poem Is Quite Stirring And Never Is A Tear Drop Not Felt Nor Held. Hang In There! Happy Holidays. My Love, Always, Rachel *
