Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Our Domain To Rule Over

we often lie about 
what we're thinking

deny deny deny
unwilling to divulge
our private thoughts
our inner secrets

not wanting
to be violated

our thoughts are ours
flawed and broken
right or wrong
as they may be

they're ours
and no one else's

we'll share
to a degree
but only when safe
is how we feel
