Yorktown Disciple
Not In Your Face






I spent most of my life staying
out of people's faces, always
looked straight
ahead,


Any problems that arose were
dealt with mild arguments,
softly confident
instead.


I could've brandished a weapon
to make myself heard,
bravely chose a
handshake,


Ridicule came from all sides of
refined thought, to be safe,
I often did a double
take.
