Poetry: Alone

by Mortimer

I am afraid of being known,
Preferring to live my life alone.
Who cares about my secrets?
Who'd understand this screaming,
Open mouth of silence?
Whispers too revealing.

I don't talk
Cause I got nothing left to say
Shut down emotions
Cause words get in the way.
I don't feel
Cause feelings grow too deep.
Can't chance a breakdown
Cause heartbreak don't come cheap.
