17/30 National Poetry Month Challenge

I'm not trying to break your spirit
Or your back
So you won't hear me
Or feel my words
Saying anything
That sounds like
Anticipation
Expectation
Because that's just
Too much pressure
To perform beyond measure
Just maybe you'll never
Get it right
But you'll die trying
Or simply go insane
And then who's to be the blame
I don't want my name stretched
Out in the sentence along with
Anyone's demise
I'm not trying to break your spirit
Or be the reason you find it so easy
To tell lies.

Not Your Alibi
