Only When I'm Alone

by Stephen Doyle (14)

Only when I’m alone can my true thoughts come to light,
When I’m alone I can think to myself without question.

"My life, My Problems" That’s what I say.
It's not true.

I want to share my feelings, to allow another gaze inside my mind.
But there’s nobody like that.
Nobody I care about enough to even tell them exactly what I’m thinking
about

There is only one I think about telling
Only one I could tell.
It may not be you, I don’t know

Soon I’ll decide.
But only when I’m alone
