No One Knows

No one knows, I’ve not let them in. I wouldn’t know how to start, or where to begin. How do you tell someone that it may be the end? And who do you tell, one who’s been a friend? No one knows I’ve told not a soul. My secret is as black as midnight coal. Though it’s not a good thing, and it I’d love to be rid, I can’t toss away my being – my id. No one knows of the hate I possess. Nor of the loneliness that I often caress. Nor of the fact, that I’ve made up my mind, to put an end to my misery, and pray that it’s peace I finally find.

This too shall pass ... smile ... and anyone who can reach out and comment on another's writing as you did for me is surely not ready to leave ... smile ... They say we're only as sick as our secrets so find someone to dump it all on and keep on keepin' on ... smile ...

"screw you"? hmm...? Not the same compliments I am going to give. I like dark poetry, and this I like.
