My Silence

My silence
is not a submission
but a few moments taken
to find a solution.

It is not
the proof of fear
conquering me
but the planning
of my strategy.

It is never
to be mistaken
as a sign of weakness,
it is my choice
to be patient.

Only those with a clear mind
can make the best decision.
I refuse to show any signs
of a fool who can't control
his emotions

crazy emotional risk takers
were gunslingers and mad pilots
Howard Hughes
Bonny and Clyde
revolutionaries rescuing
the country...

I am emotional and I have
walked into crazy realms
and back

it costs a lot
poor decisions
chasing the wrong
women
too many bad habits

to much bad poetry
overlooked

ah well...

ThankU!

I prefer to try to be calm and cool.

and good wisdom
