Visiting
If I tremble
It's not due to fear
I trust that,
By now
You don't mistake
My twitching fingers
For anxiousness
Struggling with insecurity
Plexiglass walls
Hide a lot, however
And prevent
Quite a bit
Which is fine
With me
But tell me
How do you feel
Watching me
Reading me
Trying to find
Something, anything
Of my countenance
To portray emotion
For you
To feed on
No, not as easy
As you would want
That would
Ruin the game
So come back
Visit me another day
Come closer
To realizing
You are no more
Free than I
But use
Your bed
As justification
Or ambivalence truth
To lie
To yourself
And tell
Yourself
That you are
Not trapped
Just as me
In a cell
When will you
Look out
From the
Little shell
You so gladly
Wrapped yourself in
Inside the grasp
Of who pays you
And realize that
The only cell
I've been in with
Three musty, dirty
Rock walls
And a plexiglass barrier
Keeping you
From me
With all of my
'Crimes' and inhumane acts
Or at least
That's what you're told
By who? Oh yes,
Your givers of greed
But that
This cell
Is not what
You perceive
And I am
Only You
Inside of
Me
It's not due to fear
I trust that,
By now
You don't mistake
My twitching fingers
For anxiousness
Struggling with insecurity
Plexiglass walls
Hide a lot, however
And prevent
Quite a bit
Which is fine
With me
But tell me
How do you feel
Watching me
Reading me
Trying to find
Something, anything
Of my countenance
To portray emotion
For you
To feed on
No, not as easy
As you would want
That would
Ruin the game
So come back
Visit me another day
Come closer
To realizing
You are no more
Free than I
But use
Your bed
As justification
Or ambivalence truth
To lie

And tell
