Traction Stornello
Now I have been forced into this position,
I hate having to change my plan of action.
Left to start this ball rolling to gain traction.
This demeanor so commonly full of poise,
I detest the use of superfluous noise.
The rest of my arsenal surely deploys.
My reflection slowly begins splintering
as indignant skin succumbs to blistering.
What I’m repeating is not registering.
Yanking at my emotions only to see
when to pull hard or proceed delicately.
I’m starting to feel you are here to test me.
Your image once clicked initiates rage bait
to rush out of control I can’t moderate.
I wish I had walked away, now it’s too late.
