My Sickness

My Sickness

I feel the urge

concealing it 

makes it grow stronger

I want to so badly

the arousal is abrupt

insane

untucked

no longer is constraint

an option

I am going to do it here

right now,

I am so sorry if there is offense

in my action

but I must pull out my pen

and write a poem.

sometimes it's scary to pull out a pen or pencil and start scribbling, j... the looks people give... I've taken to tapping on the touchscreen of the phone as if I was merely scrolling or text/chatting but that may also be seen as rude on occasion....🕊️🙏🏻

No worries Jacob

The purpose of poetry / music / art is to awaken something in ourselves first and then be patient and allow something to be awakened in others. Great work, my friend.

Once in awhile one must whip out the pen, mightier than the sword or not. ~Jim
