Unsafe
a poem for the ones that must hide
Safe is not mother’s wrath
Safe is not father’s detachment
Safe is not the carousel that is home
With horses hideous, blaring red fangs.
Safe is not lover’s wondering eye
Safe is not lover’s misaligned act
Safe is not lover’s hypocrisy
When your scream against his scream has reason none.
Safe is not home where tense the air is
Safe is not home where foreign the feelings
Safe is not home of cracking concrete
Where the walls close in on you, suffocate you.
Safe are not friends coming and leaving
Safe are not friends making commitments false
Safe are not friends abusing benefits
Which you offer with pure kindness and love.
Safe isn’t you who lacks control
Safe isn’t you who spurs
Safe isn’t you who gives in
When temptation takes over your logic,
It’s you who is unsafe.
