"You Can't Read This!"

Jersey
Stay out!

This is mine

(Not yours)

My lines, my words

From my pen.

Don't read

My thoughts

My anxieties

My hopes

My dreams.

They mean nothing

Absolutely nothing

To someone like you.

I won't let you flip and

Criticize the pages of my soul.

Or discover

What makes me tick.

Who would read

The scribblings of my mind?

You spy! You snoop!

Go read something else!

What? Well...

If you insist...

Maybe just this once.

    Well written! I enjoyed the way you wrapped it up at the end... you really captured that particular train of thought. Good job!

    Some of us do the opposite of what you tell us to do. :)

    Yup, sometimes I am still hesitant to let people see certian things for fear they may not understand and think I'm crazy. I guess alot of us can relate to this.
