      -J.L.S.

      Today might be the day

      When I actually try

      To write, for I cannot

      Compromise my position;

      I cannot put up a fight!

      Faces stare and demand

      My attention, but I cannot

      Turn my head away.

      But I can find the right

      Words which would allow

      A way to get me out of

      Feeling that there is

      No escape,

      For words can always

      Provide a great outlet.

      And I would be lost

      If I did not have them

      At my disposal.

      8/6/17
