I write verse in metered stanzas
Melodic breeze of red organza
Fluttering words tell memory's tales
Iridescent thoughts on emotion's sails

Though I am oft misunderstood
By those of different livelihoods
I empathize and comprehend
Yet remain direct and don't pretend

I speak my thoughts
without refrain
I make inquiries
for understanding's gain

Yet my directness agitates those
Who've yet to understand the prose
In a life worth living true and sure
One realizes pain endures

So suffer not to hold within
An episode of your chagrin
Or feelings felt you can't deny
Just speak your truth, with head held high

So others know what you're about
Don't hold it in and fret or pout
For if you do you can't expect
That others know what you neglect
