What You Don't Know

Cynical son
Disparaging ocean tide
Hiding
In the salty air
Enveloped in thin linen
Abrasive cocoon in which
Empty words ring hollow
Fire rages in another room
Bitterly unbeknownst
Told of love and hope
Through a megaphone
Armor against the ally
Cold and heavy
Shame and trepidation
The sting of peroxide
Bursting at the seams
At times
Itchy with timidity
At times
Itchy with expression
