My Denial

Even if I’m wearing black
Black’s not my style.
And I will deny that
I wont accept fact.
It’s not a living hell
It’s my denial.

When I’m feeling mad’s
The only time I smile.
I’m not left or right
I vote for the vile
Before I choose denial.

I don’t need to be locked up
I love my inner exile
Where I deny my denial.
Even though I’ve got kids
I am infertile
Can I deepen my denial?

When I’m feeling mad’s
The only time I smile.
I’m not left or right
I vote for the vile
Before I choose denial.

How can you reconcile
A veteran juvenile
Who lives in denial
Writing words of bile?
You say I wrote this bit
And I will deny it!

When I’m feeling mad’s
The only time I smile.
I’m not left or right
I vote for the vile
Before I choose denial.

Will check rest of poems later but I see a certain style that shows promise with perspective to challenge and words that tantalise. Reading it I take something away to further ponder and try against my life for size. Give you a 6. I am sure I will find a 7 amongst the rest. David also living under the long white cloud.

Hey fellow Kiwi, thanks for dropping in and giving this bile a 6. Of course, if anyone asks, I'll deny it!
