the book of secrets
i was clinging onto so dearly
soon became a point of interest
for many of my peers

what's in that notebook of yours

they asked

the answers to why i am who i am.

come.
take a sip
of my secrecy.

i shared my thoughts
with you
who craved them
with you
who begged incessantly
for me to reveal to you
my madness.
with you
who ignored me
the moment I was finally ready
to share such a
delicate part of me
with you

like a person
who had at long last
gained the courage
to bear their nakedness
their innermost being
to their lover
that looked away
at the sight
