My Silence
My silence
is not a submission
but a few moments taken
to find a solution.
It is not
the proof of fear
conquering me
but the planning
of my strategy.
It is never
to be mistaken
as a sign of weakness,
it is my choice
to be patient.
Only those with a clear mind
can make the best decision.
I refuse to show any signs
of a fool who can't control
his emotions

good to be a resolute careful thinker
crazy emotional risk takers
were gunslingers and mad pilots
Howard Hughes
Bonny and Clyde
revolutionaries rescuing
the country...
I am emotional and I have
walked into crazy realms
and back
it costs a lot
poor decisions
chasing the wrong
women
too many bad habits
to much bad poetry
overlooked
ah well...
ThankU!

It has a nice flow to it
and good wisdom
