A Piece of My Mind (Live Reading)

 

Inspiration: This poetic piece expresses feelings of frustration from being misunderstood and the resolve to set the record straight. ~TRP~

I have held my peace long enough;

Tired of the drama and stupid stuff!

Silence, I thought, was the path to peace,

Yet, you continue your discourse with no relief.

Since you fail to come to your senses,

It is my job to help mend fences.

My words will be brief, concise, and true.

Tired of the drama, and at this point; also of you.

If my words fail to bring a truce,

It will not deter me from the truth.

You got it all wrong, this is certain,

But I'm the only one bearing this burden.

I will free myself from silence which is called "golden,"

And end this conflict which is now boring.

Silence, I thought, was the path to peace,

Yet, you continue your discourse with no relief.

Wanted to get out of this with grace this time.

Since you asked for it -
