Why can’t I speak the truth?
Why can’t I unburden my heart?
You find it childish perhaps
but it leaks out from you all the time
in those passive-aggressive remarks
in the way you isolate yourself
and talk to everyone through
a thick see-through wall
I was sick alone
but with you
the case is terminal

Oh wowza, pointedly good, well done.
Thank you! ❤
I have no reason why, but I like it.
Thank you for sharing 😀
Glad you do! Thanks for reading. =)
I suspect there is some pain behind this, but I couldn’t help but smile at the ending.
Good to get a reaction! Thanks. =)
So deep – I love this.
Thanks!
I find this harrowing, upsetting. I think it’s in the voice – so certain and knowing. It cuts – which is why I will describe this piece as visceral. Brilliant work. Brilliant.
It’s an angry poem in response to indifference, in the simplest of terms. I’m glad that emotion got across. Thank you! =)
