What About My Secrets? Poem by Katy Lue

What About My Secrets?

Rating: 5.0


Is this how it feels?
This lonleiness that's drowned in desperation?
This knot that tightens with each gulp of air?
Is this how it ends?
Do I grow to weak and too deserted to speak?
Do I grow so far away I won't care?
I won't care where I am going,
or who might follow,
I won't care about yesterday or today or tomorrow?
I won't care if I wake,
or if the sun explodes,
It will take ten minutes to see the devastation anyway,
will I be a friend of deep woe?
Will I shrink to nothing,
or make it to something,
is something all I deserve?
No name,
just something,
someone,
sometime,
somewhere,
What about my secrets?
Will they fall with me?
Will they fall and then fly to the land unreachable?
If they follow me down I will not jump,
I will not attempt,
I will not try,
If they fly away never to be seen or heard or sensed again I will fall,
attempt,
try,
try to see the world on my tiptoes,
to use a voice that whispers at most,
to see with eyes that only watch,
to loose all there is to loose,
While I can I will try,
so desperatley try,
to give my secrets away forever,
untill time does me in,
I will try to live with them,
the burden so hard to bare,
the hole I live in so deep,
too deep,
to breathe,
but I will try,
only because I know that one day I will not wake to them clinging to my soul,
I will try only because I know that
one day I will be free.
