What am I searching for?
At least I have my twin to keep me company.
We’re forced to be covered far too often.
How would you like to be so confined?
Feeling a steady burn to the rhythm of a walk,
but striving to be supportive,
like a cheerleader in hiding.
In pants I’m abiding,
because I’m a cheeky butt cheek.

Hah! This was a sneaky little riddle—I almost had to sit down and think about it. 😆
This poem is a powerful expression of frustration and longing for freedom. The imagery is vivid, and the tone is both defiant and melancholic. The poet's voice is strong and resonates with a sense of injustice. It's a poignant exploration of societal constraints and the human desire for individuality.
haha, good morning! snarky you!
