I'll Give You Thirteen Reasons Why

A Poem

By Johannah FuentesfinaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I am just a visitor in my own mind.

I look down at my hands and realize I have control.

If only I could leash my thoughts…

But it’s difficult to form a leash from a noose.

Ask why I keep my issues to myself,

But when a house is on fire so you discuss it?

Or do you get out of the room?

I only fear that once I light the candle,

The fire will refuse to be tamed.

So I jet let it spread and I turn and run away.
