They Told Me To Perform

my hand was perched upon the keyboard, but
inside my skin, my wiring faltered, stopped,
and shuddered ? blatant reactions to glossed
and mirrored strips of ivory staring back
upon my introspective screaming mind.

the clock was groaning loudly in my head
enough to stifle thoughtful fear of death,
even modest hopes of life. Suddenly
my silent mind was screaming: faster! Go!
my sweaty fingers tensed and yelled: please no!

my wiring lurched confused, distressed, alarmed:
my hand was slamming downward, quickly forced
by introspective screaming fear of death!

Are you bothered?

Nice though, I guess. Did you write that? If there is one thing above all others that I can't do it write, so props to ya if you did.

After quick and limited whimsical perusal,
I cannot be honest, sincere, and thoughtful.
Instead I will say that your attempt was delightful
though in reality it was quite dreadful.

It gave me a fair chance, however
to engage in my own poetic endeavor.
Though never one to attend to measure,
I am quite convinced that mine is better.

So this reply is unfair and scathing,
I did not mean to be berating
one who trys for our entertaining
through careful art that he is making.

My sincere apologies for my quip hastiness
for judging on your maladroitness,
so please use all of your shrewdness
and annihilate my pridefulness.

Your pride is yours to keep, and cherish if you wish.

Goodnight.

Poetry is a beautiful tool. Not a weapon. Life is a _______. Not a competition.
