The Basics Without Explanations

I'll write the truth, but I'll never speak
As it is too painfully bleak
Don’t bother asking how I have been
I’d only lie, so as not to been seen

I cover my face with the makeup I need,
As I cover my wounds that forever bleed
It hurts to know, who I have become
And how I will always be succumb

I will never trust, of that I am sure
I’ve too many secret… secrets galore.
I keep them to myself, I’ll never share
For there’s numerous memories, I can not bare

You asked for a poem, purely about me
My personal life, for others to see.
I’m sorry to say, this is all I can write
It isn’t a lot, but that’s all for tonight.

Author notes

option 2, pictures 7 & 4

this is true of myself. i don't like to talk about myself, but i write poetry about myself, and things i have been through. i have so many horrible memories and it hurts to talk about them, so i dont (which made me think of picture 4). and i cover the true person inside of me with make up and lies, so that people dont see how borken and messed up i truly am (which made me think of picture 7).
i hope this is what you were looking for, and i hope you enjoy it

much love
XoXoX

    A sad write indeed. It is a lot to ask one to bare their deepest selves, even in poetry. It leaves one open again, and your secret part of you should be kept that way till you really find someone to trust.
    All the best with this
