ALONE

“a little odd, not emotional”

her heart locked secretly

no entry, though they try

her love shown discreetly

they try to crack her

to see a shift in tone

to visualize her unique reality

but she would rather be the person the therapists describe her as.

she would rather stand

A

Little

Odd,

Not

Emotional

because no emotion means

no heartbreak

no vulnerability

though strange

though alone.
