Secret
Alone,
with vacuous
eyes staring blindly.
Quiet, but for tumultuous
noises inside an already befuddled
mind. Silently, I sit, brow furrowed,
lost in thought, in an engulfing emptiness
that I have created, and I know that
I have a secret, and the secret is mine.

that I have created..." this reminded me of some of Poe's works, because of the element of madness/self-inflicted loneliness. It was melancholy and wonderful. Five stars!
I already commented on this once before and I just saw the comment you made pertainting to my remark. I admire the theory in this poem, showing the "growth of the secret".
You have such talent for poetry! I admit, I'm at least a little bit envious.
Cheers!
you commented my poem yonks ago, and so i feel i should comment yours back!
i really like this, the way it is constructed, the way it gets longer on each line.
and i love the ending!
it is such a good decisive ending.
you really capture the uncomfortable feeling and insecurity of having a secret.
i always have difficulty with endings :(
