#17

These hot tears running down my cheeks.

The deep breathing filled with heartache.

What are these emotions coming over me?

Why?

The simple musical trigger cannot be the only factor to blame.

I've tried so hard to move on and push these feelings aside.

I guess there will always be cracks in this mask.

I despise these leaks of oversensitivity.

Please, crawl back into the box I've placed you in.

Sexual expression is welcomed with open eyes in my generation.

Loquacious mouths and hungry ears.

Conquests congratulated and encouraged.

Virginity, a symbol of purity and innocence.

Not a dirty word... yet there is an effort to hide,

for those who are confided in grow quiet.

What happened to the openness and the acceptance?

Making the inexperienced feel as a child,

even with those in matched age.

Was the openness in direct relation to

the legs?
