Catching Feelings

My patience is wearing thin

Your need to win is wearing on my skin

The need to mask what’s within

Is unfolding all the injustices of sin

Against an empathetic background of respect

Unless there’s an odd pretexts

But I need you to meet me in my present 

Context. 
Do best and mirror my efforts

Actually invent your own curriculum

And reward me without ridicule

Do not undermine my intelligence and believe

I will not draw back. Given the facts

The loss of you has no impact

Already it’s depleted communication and contact

Even when we’ve outlined how we need to act

Protect one another with this verbal, virtual contract

Do not ever assume that your bullshit will rescue

Your abuse through your silence. 
Recognise that violence

When you're cathcing feelings
