Safety

Poetry should speak truth
It’s something that wasn’t meant to share
Yet entertaining
Nobody really cares
I’ll grab a mic
Stare into the light
So ego, vanity and validation
Will hoist me
Into the night
And into the many lonely hearts
That want to bite
Off a piece
And swim it home
Through paved abominations
Under glowing safety beacons

If I chose to accept a banal existence
Like a shitting Dinosaur
Bored of the same giant leaf
Accepting defeat would be the greatest inspiration
To eat
But to share
Invoke stares
Hostile glares
Wet lips for a dare
I move on, and on
The greatest threat to inspiration
Is safety
