You sometimes compliment me about my <br />appearance – but do you know what’s inside? <br />When I start to tell you, you take ten steps back, <br />no thank you, I don’t agree, no, you are wrong <br /> <br />No occult ideas, I don’t want to know… I respect <br />you, so you won’t get to know, I’ll say nothing <br />more, be at peace, watch your game, rugby war, <br />North and South, I’ll share my feelings and fears <br /> <br />With someone else, an older brother; a fairy elf, <br />a King of the North, read a book about Tesla, <br />Colin Wilson, anyone, I won’t trouble you… <br /> <br />Telling me I act just like my sister <br />you can’t stand the noise, ostensibly; <br />suits me fine, I’ll save energy by <br />being as dour as you, hold my own <br /> <br />counsel, get the Ice Princess to dream <br />of an evening gown - and the most <br />beautiful pair of glass slippers <br />besides…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/get-the-ice-princess-to-dream/
