Side Steps Tomorrow

It's not really fair for the one who stays in fear of being defeated, whose choices are swept away by the other's single choice is a single self. It's not really fear that keeps one too near to the One whose freedom is strangled by tendons not tender. It's not really tears that tear one up, while rage rallies beneath the veneer of endless courtesy and, no others hear or care to see tears turn to spikes of glass and facade. It's not really reasonable when one can't appear, to not want to be here, can't stand to sit here while others over there admire ones choice, because they don't have to be here. It's not really real, dare not say how one feels for dread of dull thuds from sharp judges’ mental mallets. It's not really just, when fine lines so thin, keep one wrong or right where they want one. It's not really good when one lonely one side steps tomorrow to stop feeling. Sorry.

raychill, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you for the very warm welcome. I think i am a bit cheeky joining because when I made my fist post and saw that i had to select a form, I panicked! Except for rhyme, i don't know where my stuff should go. Please forgive my ignorance and have patience with me while I learn from this most awesome resource Poetry Soup.
