Onyx Perth Poet Rhyme

Jest a Joke

I guess I am just a joke, 
never to be taken seriously.

Gave pieces of myself out too generously.
Even though I did it cautiously,
The evidence shows it was still done dangerously.

Ive fought for the wrong ones furiously.
Trying to hold on to that memory,
now seems more like a stupid fantasy.

Does everyone think I don't have the mental capacity
to handle the truth or deserve honesty?

I don't hide awful intentions masked by chivalry.

I may have flaws, sometimes rather clumsy,
there's not much of me

Ive become somewhat shaky,
But when you're all in, so am I entirely.

I think people think I am a joke, sadly
I've learned that curiosity can come off as acting suspiciously

Being anxious or nervous can turn into a catastrophe.
Inner commentary
Acting awkwardly

Try to approach things delicately
Failed miserably.

To Be continued...
