Why do you write
and not show the world?
Because I fear what others would say.

Why do you write
and not show the world?
Because others would not understand.

I am saddened with this fact
That I so fear the others in the world
Enough so that I would not show myself.

The truth that I do write
Would not be taken lightly
People do not believe what is written.

If they do believe
Read into my words too deeply
I would worry they'd read too much.

Reading into what I say
Too far in to a point of no return
To a point that they pervert what I say.

I am sad, depressed, and angry
But this is where I write it all down
This is where I claim sanctuary from prying eyes.
