afraid to speak

I write because it is my right.

I write because expressions aren't enough.

An expression can mean two things.

when I write it means one.

When I write I can express my attitude, how I feel

When you see me I can hide what I feel inside with a smile and a giggle.

But when you read what I've written, you will see my insecurities, you will feel my pain, you will notice the suicidal notes I've written time and time again.

At first glance you won't know me

but check out a book i've written seek after a simple note, a poem i've written with this very same quote.

I'm in pain that's why I write.

I won't say what's going on in my life.

I may lock my words in a special diary, for if they are exposed...

some things are meant to never be said, for it might lead to an untimely end.

But with this I leave you, whoever has read.

My personality, who I am, is in what you read
