Brazen

Week 41

an aggressive word unspoken
except upon your face
you are my anathema
falsehoods will outpace

I see right through all that you say
these brazen fucking lies
you can't hide your truth from me
for this there'll be no prize

~ P

a forward step
made without proper care
too far, too deep
in issues I'm now heir

unprepared I slip further in
where stress become insanity
yet it's there I'll march with a grin
to protect my own vanity

grasping lifelines
to make it through the day
need to maintain
the image I portray
