Common Sense Nonsense

Falling into a trap

I have laid for myself

the shame I feel

could not be any greater.

Immaturity.
Too scared to see you happy.

Too immature to be a man.

I hope you understand.

A thousand piercing points

all puncturing my skin.

Be happy somewhere else.

Be happy with someone else

far, far away from here.

Writing is always an exercise in solitude.

there is something beautiful in the simplicity
of typing words out
and having them speak.
