Stalling

by writers_gonna_write

I’ll tell you soon,

I promise myself,

I glance at the clock,

Telling myself that I’ll tell you in a few minutes,

But I know that I’m stalling,

I’m buying time,

Anything to keep me from telling you what I know,

But I know I must tell you sometime,

Or else I’ll be swept up in a mess of lies.

I have been writing poetry for 5 years now and I have a collection of over 600 original poems I've made. I submitted a poem to Appelley Publishing and was published in the 2018 addition of their poetry book. I love to read and write, and I have a cat and a hamster.
