Poem, title: Exposé
sometimes,
in your weak and limp agony, you want to
claw at other people's fine clothes in impotent desperation,
to beg,
"please, please tell me where i'm wrong.
"please, be specific, be personal, be cruel, please take off your mask and don't leave me the only one naked,
"please, cry, break down, be weak, i promise i'll try to be a safe shoulder,
"please, please for the love of god,
"please tell me when i hurt you, when i'm being dismissive, when i'm ignorant, when my argument is weak,
"please notice, please speculate on why i do the things i do,
"please give me hints, please, please, please, i want nothing more,
"nothing more than to improve, to be as good-"
and you feel like all you're doing is getting your mud all over their silks.
(if you were any braver, you would rip those stupid shimmering guises to shreds.)
