backtacked

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I find myself understanding less
  the more I know
  there are wicked double faces and
backtacked words
      right in front of me
the sidewinders don't know
   I see.
     I am seen through
or am I seen past?
      Why am I forbidden to settle
or force-fed better arbitrations?
    I  can see the flashes of
       deep set actuality
in the middle of
       good intentions
and
       polite appearances.
How can frustration and sorrow
      ever be
dressed properly
for me to feel
        enough?
I learned blisters follow
        his rage
  and to keep my trembles
         inside
And I can never please
   you past frustration.
       I fail
in all of my
   footsteps.
