If You Ask Me... Poem by jenny mq liew

like a little child
innocent and naive
the adult world?
too complicated to understand.

like an ignorant wife
oblivious to her husband's mistress
affair of the heart?
too bizzare to interfere.

like a white mouse
waiting to be dissected
ulterior motive?
well you bet.

just like good old tom
peeping through the keyhole
skeletons i've found in the closets of many
an outsider i might be
but with watchful eyes
i see what you've missed.
