Intimidating Kindness

Thomas Moore

Sometimes total lack of intimidation can be the most intimidating
My innocence is scary because you live life anticipating
Anticipating a glimmer of what is the truth
Wondering how I could keep it up all through my entire life
Is it real or are you the lead puppet to a marionette
Manipulated by the kindest evil
Deceived by the cruelest generosity
I know you saw through me
The TRUTH!
Oh how it HURTS!

Thomas Moore

I have been a member of poetry.com since 2001 or so, and I absolutely love this site. I think it is very encouraging to amateur writers. This is such a great way to express ourselves in ways that we typically wouldn't.All of my poems are 100% original. Though some of my poems are very personal, in most of my works I try to place myself into the thoughts and emotions of others, mostly the less fortunate, and try to express how they must deal with their trials and tribulations. Take what you see all around you, and somehow make it your own...whether it is ugly or beautiful, sad or happy...it is life. more…
