Sociosecret

Oh—I know.

But, do you?

Of course not—Ha!

It’s impossible.

I’m concealed and

You’ll never discover

Me.

But it’s obvious, you lunatic!

I'm involuntary;

Recluse in manner,

Blank stares,

And faint tolerance for frustration;

I am whoever you are. 

Pensive gazing at gray walls

Because they’re more colorful

Than the mediocre conversation

I am suffocating in.

I don’t care about your job,

Where's my money?

The examples are poignant.

(I know how you'll feel)

Every siren who

Uses her vocal cords to lure me in,

I take the bait, because

Retaliation is my game.

Her heart is dangling,

Rolling around in my hand. 

Squealing in the warmth of

My intelligence. 

I proclaim with words:

“My oh so elegant love;

How the rain trickles

Off your head into my hand,

As the cusp of your sculpted cheekbones

Aligns with my palmistry;

My lips throbbing for another kiss,

Our heartbeats synchronize while

Our eye-lids flutter in search of

Each other's soul.”

Ha!—The vocal cords are tangled,

And I will remain, so long does

The velvet between her legs.

You’ll never find me.

You see, I’m a mimic, a parrot, a genius.

When your eyebrows raise,

As will mine,

When you’re wetting your cheeks,

I wield compassion.

When the veins in your neck thicken,

I know to support your cause.

When you speak

I nod and repeat the last words. 

Cognitive empathy, you see?

It's brilliant.

And you will not escape

Me and my needs.

Besieging the minds of others,

Not allowing for critical thought,

To take over emotional response.

I'll show you some secret

Triggers for any assistance.

(Remember, they are the center too)

"I do not like to burden you,"

Because their time matters.

"I hate handouts,"

For them to think I'm admirable.

"I don't do that"

To show I'm mature.

"I work 70-hours a week."

To show there's a cause for supporting. 

"I don’t play those games"

Only behind closed doors.

And, behind closed doors, I kneel.

Yelling to anyone listening,

“I'm a cruel and unworthy human being

I don't deserve anything except 

Punishment for my deeds;

No lavish gift or status. 

So I will not ask, it is unfair of me”

But He doesn’t even know,

I tell Him that because

I ought to.
