eye to eye

If I said what
I was thinking right now
You'd slap my face
Tell me to get out of this place
And never come back again.
So I hold it in
And keep that grin
Planted firmly on my face.
But you can see my eyes.
They hold the truths from yesterday.
And you know
As well as I
That we'll never see
Eye to eye.

Miz Sue D., I think this poem says exactly what you're feeling. Very well-written! Enjoyed...Salud.
wow,
that says a lot.
I know I've been in situations where that was exactly what I had to do.
thanks for writing that.

Sue D, A beautiful treat indeed! Thanks!!!

Okay, I think you really mean that so....
Sue D. Feb 11, 2007, 4:21pm EST
yes Terry I really mean it. This is meant for someone that I am commanded to respect, when he really did not deserve it.

Very well thought out. It says what so many of us think everyday. Thanks for putting it in black and white.

A great poet has the ability to voice the Common Man's thoughts. Good job! If I was your writing teacher, I'd give you an A+
Sue D. Feb 12, 2007, 2:08am EST
Wow Jessie! That is so nice. *blushing*

Excellent job, but no way should you ever be in a position where someone could slap your face for what you believe. Time to move on.
Jeanne Nelson Feb 12, 2007, 10:43am EST
Wow, beautifully written.
Charles D. Feb 12, 2007, 10:51am EST

sometimes to have to keep your thoughts to yourself. Just to make the small world around you work. feelings, yours and others depend on things you say. this poem is very well written.
Sue D. Feb 18, 2007, 2:53pm EST
Thank you Howard. You are so right!
How many times have I held that in my eye? I just never put it into words like you've done. Glad to make your acquaintance.
Sue D. Feb 18, 2007, 3:56pm EST
Glad to meet you too Chris
