I've always written poetry alone.
It's a baring of my soul
An event that I want not to share
A vulnerability I trust to none
Poetry is my expression of emotion
A stream of consciousness
and my true self
poured freely onto the paper.
To share that in someone's company
frightens me.
You could glance over at any time
and see
that I am far more
Vulnerable
Twisted
and
Disturbed
than I've always shown myself to be
And you'll ask questions
to which I cannot answer
Because then I will have to face the fact
that I am
Not okay
