I only want you to know who I am.
I don't know why.
It shouldn't matter.
But it's hardwired in, a biological need
To explain myself.
You won't read my poetry
Because you don't want to see my pain.
You won't see the movies or read the books
That change my life.
You don't pay attention
To what my art is saying.
And yet you want me close.
Read one.
Just read
ONE.
You want me close.
I am giving you
CLOSE.
You are the one
Backing away.
