Biting Silences

Bitter silences Biting your lip A rage wanting to surface Ready to erupt Looks that judge harshly Laced with sarcasm Will leave no room For explanation Or forgiveness Submitted on April 15, 2019 for contest APRIL 2019 CONTEST 5 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on November 19, 2018 AP: Honorable Mention 2020

We are always discussing how nothing shuts a person down any faster than mean looks and or sarcasm, especially a sensitive person who is hyper-vigilant in the first place. This is a great poem, Line.
