The Mood

I'm deleting a lot of words Squashing down a lot of emotions I've put eyeliner on And my glare is ice cold I'm not even looking out I'm just contained.

In these mood sorts, I think about how it could be much worse---we could've been Mikaela McCallum. Brilliant, love the get-back stare idea. Hoping you get through all right.

Sounds like some heads were about to roll when you penned this one Dilly, just as well you weren’t on jury duty, the poor accused was a goner for sure, scary lol, cheers David

This is why poetry is so good, I can just let off a bit of steam and let the mood pass

You are priceless ! Your eyeliner glare wont compress you ! Besides you don't need to be compressed. Don't contain yourself, let your beautiful hair down and confront the world embrace it be the Dilly Dally we all know and love. Squished emotions don't fair well they need to be free. Behave yourself young lady !

I'm best contained for a little while to be sure I don't over react. I'm not even bothered now :D
