Uneasy
Uneasy wit
Argues, finds fault;
Uneasy bits
Unmask default.
Uneasy mess
Reveal real pains;
Now more or less,
Hurts wear refrains.
Uneasy style,
Blunt issues poke;
Now who can smile
In bitter yoke?
Uneasy peace,
Words cannot heal;
Wounds now increase,
Harsh fate to seal.
Uneasy mind,
Heart feels quite choked;
Harsh edges find,
Sad grief that strokes.
Uneasy will
Turns round to bite;
Who can keep still
When thoughts incite?
Uneasy space,
Ugly with pride;
Just learn to face
Each turn of tide.
Uneasy ride,
Emotions spark;
Release vain pride
To make the mark.
Uneasy truce,
No one can win;
Stalemate and deuce,
Discord fills in.
Uneasy lines
Punctuate discord;
No one feels fine —
This Gordian knot!
Uneasy looks,
No eye contact;
No open book —
No turning back.
Uneasy gaze,
Judge and accuse —
Trapped in a maze:
Guilty? Confused?
Uneasy glance
Seek compromise;
No second chance,
Trust fails to size.
