No Good Hiding

By Nici

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's not a good idea To spill your heart Write about your secrets Describe your adventures Of sex Drugs Wild crazy nights Of speaking incantations While fucking gods It's not a good idea To leave your books open Leave the house Without locking up your secrets Find out later When you return Someone has read everything Your soul has been violated You are questioned About truth Honor Love Lust It's not a good idea To lie and say "It isn't real" "I often write in first person." Because in the end You only lie to yourself No one should care if you had a past No one should care if you gave yourself To another man before marriage Hid an escaped convict in your woods Loved a devil Sold your soul It's not a good idea To go through life To hide your truth Rape your innocence Make excuses for your curse Act as though you did not enjoy The art of creating spirits Afterall they were your spirits You cared for them And they knew you for who you were They'd always know who you were Written February 12th, 2002 © on Feb 12 2002 12:17 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
