Star-cross'd Lovers

[Jack of Hearts]

Hubris
Your writing’s gotta-be
The lie clangs harsh ugly metal
Look at your cleverness
Every line stilted stupid in
Yourself


Agony
Bucking fury, snapping bindings
Clawing shearing flesh and soul
Larynx ripping sobs
Extubate pride
Soon you can speak
Honesty

[Lumiere]

This poem is like a two-way mirror. And honest.

[Delta40]

I don't know about honesty - I think self-loathing is often mistaken for honesty. Either way, the poem is powerful.
