Have you ever thought,
Of how poetry can affect you?
How it affects others?
If you do then read this.

As I continue to write,
I think of how my poetry affects people,
I think of my friends,
And my family,
I think of other people,
That I don't know,
I guess u could say,
that i worry for others,
I hide my emotions,
Like most hide secrets,
I let few read what I write,
I guess I truly care,
I thought i was cold-hearted,
But i guess i was wrong.
