How will one say "I need it"

in a not so needy way

How will one say "Tell me"

Without forcing them today

How will one say "It's okay"

Without lying straight to their face

How will one say "It's not okay"

Without it coming off as degrade

Poets have their ways

In a not so obvious ways

They snatch or borrow phrase

From lyrics and punchlines and trace

Trace back their way towards their intentions

Without making any hesitations

Just to let one know what they need and feel

And oh

There may be a million ways to do so.

As vague as the clouds when it is not so

Intricately scattered
