I hope
I hope so much
That you don't find these poems.
I don't want you to know everything.
I don't want you to know my secrets.
I don't want you to know all the things I never told you.
I don't want to hurt you more than you already are.
I don't want you to have pity in your eyes when you look at me.
And mostly,
I don't want you to see me,
The way I see myself.
