Unwritten
Some poems don’t get written
For the consequence might be
Rejection or dismissal
Of my thoughts or else of me.
I do not have the courage
To express the way I feel
When there may be questions raised
Of what my writing might reveal.
I can dance around the subject
With a vague and subtle clue
And I must admit I’ve done so
In a couple or a few.
But for certain topics there is just
No way to even start
So I keep the hurt inside me,
Tucked in tight inside my heart.
