We Ladies Are Rather Strange
April 6, 2013
We slice our swords through silent air
half hoping we look ridiculous enough
for a real problem to lick its lips at us as easy prey
or draw the eyes of our brother and sister pages
and hope they point, but pray they don't laugh,
and force our masters to recognize our hopelessness
and alas give us up or take us in.

hmm, Not sure what you are trying to convey, but what I see is this:
I see failure; giving in to your weaknesses. Trying to hide from the world, but knowing that you can't do it forever so you give in. Not knowing the outcome of the situation, and what your going to bestow on the other side. Very supressed piece with a side of suspense. I like it
