You are not alone

Words

Are demanding

Sometimes

Whispering ideas

Other times

Screaming from emotions

Most

Try to ignore them

Allowing them to fester

Infecting and spreading

Filling the body with raw emotions

That need to be released

In an outburst

I choose to write them

Spinning them

Into delicate threads

Weaving golden webs

Glittering

Like diamonds

Begging to be read

By snooping eyes

Greedy for gossip

But this diary

I keep

Very close to me

For only a few to gaze upon

For the thread is fragile

And unwinds

At the faintest snicker

But grows stronger

With every smile

And I understand

That is why I write

In hopes

I can reach

Somewhere inside your heart

And say I have been there

You are not alone
