Draw The Lines Poem by Michael Farquer

Intense silence
And dagger stares
Are all youll get
From this side of the room
I don’t like being
Pushed up against the wall
By a bully
Or from an idiot
It’s all the same to me
It’s a declaration
Draw the lines
Some may say im over reacting
And I think im holding back
God knows
I was right on that edge
But I held my line
You’d think
You would have figured that out
But you never were well grounded
So the obvious
Always seems to escape you
So ill stay here
In my room
Like a prison of choice
And maybe learn
To use the window
Cant let go
Not completely
And it drives me
To the edge sometimes
Then some days
Your just a distant memory
And I find myself
Dreaming and wondering
If any of it
Were ever real
At least ive
Finally answered that question
To my satisfaction
So ill probably just give in
Like I always do
And maybe ill let go
Maybe someday
Ill come out
Of the darkness to the light
