Keep to Myself

Keep to Myself

6/16/2018

I often hide behind my doors

And lock them, so no one comes in,

I’m just so shy that I want to cry.

Talking with people seems foreign.

So, I hide in my room with a book in hand

Or when I’m alone I like to sing,

But often I feel out of place

And the feeling starts to sting.

But I hate getting left behind

I hate feeling left out,

Though in conversation, I get pushed aside

And it makes me want to shout!

TO SCREAM at the injustice

And the things I just can’t say.

But instead I stay behind my door

Hoping that it will go away.

Though often it’s a lonely life

Where people pass me bye,

I live happily in my solitude

Without a question or thought of why.

I keep to myself and come out when I want

I do what I wish with nary a thought.
