Men I Have Chosen

This poem is about me, and my choices, and my silence.

My goals for life, are not
what they seem.
They are so much larger, than
you would dream.
Since I know your mind, cannot
think as free.
I hide them inside, fearing you
would belittle me.
You, perhaps, would not think this
poem worth much.
And laugh, instead of seeing with
a gentle touch.
