This is beautiful. I love the figurative language- it's so clever. "I am stuck with a tongue tied to honesty"-- fantastic!
This poem gets me because I relate to it, but not to the narrator, to "those who can smile and skate away". It's in the same sort of way (and forgive me if this reference doesn't make sense to you) I relate more to Aaron Burr than Alexander Hamilton in the Hamilton musical (until, ya know, he shot him). It's a super weird feeling when you relate more to the "villain" or "other" of the story than the protagonist, but I kind of like it.
Lovely poem overall. I can't really think of anything negative to say.
