Busting out,

Afford it,

Great Danes

Great danes are majestic large dogs,
big enough to keep in a stall,
pony like heights,
huge appetites,
can't afford one they eat like a hog.

Masked

I hide my true self in these lines.
My love is more written than spoken.
I know what I want.
But I can't afford to say it out loud.
I am living a lie.
I am masked.
