I don't write about it
Or maybe I can't
The cloak of cowardice wrapped around the tip of my pen
Restricts the ink of my sorrow to flow
But I'm a human
There's only so much I can contain within myself
Only so much I can bear
Before it overflows, and this acute agony needs an immediate outlet
Streams of tears glistening in the moonlight
A sight so poetic
The suffering, not so much
So I talk to myself
To the dull white walls of this room
To something,
Because the idea of talking to someone seems terrifying
Would they love me if I show them that I'm not who they think I am?
But I need an escape
From this burning grief inside me
From myself
I can forgive other people,
I can be kind to them
But myself?
Never
I don't think I deserve it.
