Acquiesce, Not

censorship and time kept
me from expressions of admit

when I find it most compelling
to line by line hit

myself and flail open old wounds
that only rip when you tear

while I calmly and decidedly can
pick off the scabs myself, there,

better to scar you with

and it comes to wit, then, from
long ago the switch of the mind

when first I read that I would find
no promises in a rose garden

the recall of same wonders if I had
triggered in my brain shard a then

of now

somehow

but they won’t let a mirror near
that I might see a little more clear

but instead, choose to face
my embrace

with minds found kind, indeed
planting new seeds

of hope

and what tears shed, then this day
that would leave flowers in your way

though a rose garden never promised,
was I

you shall never hear me acquiesce in
sigh

Beautiful, yes, but so very sad.
