In Masks To Masquerade Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I have never felt comfortable around those,
Who find it easy to speculate the feelings of others.
And with their druthers chit chat with others,
Giving outrageous opinions as if an authority...
In conversations they debate.

I have never felt a comfort,
Surrounded by those with false impressions made.
And charading an arrogance in masks to masquerade.
Nor am I approachable to those who openly disrespect.
Quick I am to exit without an excuse to make to express.
