a pleaser

[orisa1991]

Never could have said no,
Emotional reflex,
Ever a pleaser.

Suspicious eyes,
For rapists are everywhere,
I can't even refuse the cashier's
Sales of the day.

I have shrunken into a little ball.
Gravity and the kicking of children
Have made my path,
Down the boulevard.

I found a way to make it
Less scary,
Discovered that if I gaze downward,
People just don’t notice.
So I became best friends with the ground.

I have shrunken into a little ball.
Gravity and the kicking of children
Have made my path,
Down the boulevard.
