a Letter To Those Out There

hello.

let me say one more thing before i go.

i am a twin,

a friend,

a daughter,

a believer,

a writer 

and an artist...

but you do not know me.

hello.

let me say one more thing before i go,

i am trying

i am failing

i am dying

i am breaking

i am worthless

i am aching.

and still you do not know me

hello.

let me say one thing before you go.

i am sorry

i am quiet

but  do nothing; 

to break the silence.

so still you do not know me.

i swore my soul to secrecy. 

none of this is real,

none of this is me.

i can't speak what's in my head

why don't you get it!can't you see?

no one will ever know me, i don't trust. 

so i don't speak.
