Do other people keep quiet
about their feelings because
they do not have any or are
satisfied and content or know
how to keep their own secrets
remain in their own confidence?
It is so much easier to keep quiet
and not lay your soul bare, after
whispering your feelings, you hear
derision in the wind, disembodied
voices laughing at all you pretend
You feel naked, vulnerable, nowhere
to hide, every lip seems to utter a snide
comment, alone, scared, you decide
never to confess anything again, to
bottle up like everyone else
Thankful for the anonymity of the Internet
after confessing guilt and sins of omission
you subside and avert your eyes not to see
the surprise on faces of people unknown
thankful to be on your own
Locked in your own secret world, determined
not to look at things that evoke
an emotional response…
