Insecurities//Michael Sprague

I feel like a frog

Pinned to a table

With a scalpel dissecting

My every word

My writing under a fluorescent light

Examined by people I can’t see

Taking notes on my biology

Mentioning my background

I have been cut open

No one bothered to sew me up

My guts are left on the table

My poems thrown aside

Michael Sprague

Michael is an adventurous person; he does things on a whim. Although spontaneous he is also indecisive and may hesitate when it comes to some decisions. He may not always want to but he will sympathize with others around him.
