I have a world
I keep to myself
Galaxies unfurled
Fit on a single shelf
A shelf in my mind
That way it stays hidden
Upon entering you shall find
My little world overridden
Overridden with hurt,
within and without
I am an expert
On fear and shame and doubt
This is why, you see
My little world, so far away
Is shared with only me
I think we all have little worlds, little parts of ourselves, that we long to keep hidden.
