They Can’t Know
June 2015
I felt the fear today
and it was almost crippling.
I can’t believe that someone noticed.
It almost feels unreal.
But when they called me out on it
I couldn’t bring myself to the truth.
There are just too many unknowns
to even consider telling you.
My comfort of silence,
of being ignored,
it brought out your attention;
and now I have eyes on my back.
I have to take care of my next moves;
there’s no way I can continue the same path.
Now I must burn that one
and tear it to the ground.
The life I have ahead–
is not one that’s my own.
