A/N: this is a series of poems i'm doing on the Blue Bloods world--the first three i submitted to Melissa's poetry contest, hope you like.

Schuyler: Repression

I look away

The stupid girl reaction

He's looking just past me

Invisibility is a sort of security

Daydreaming waiting

Though it's just a dream

I relish in the thoughts

They overwhelm—that need

The compulsion to reach out

To speak, is

Not so easily pushed away...

Repression is my

Defense mechanism

of choice
