My Thoughts Poem by KwaNdebele Science School

My thoughts,
Mine and mine only.
I don't share them with anyone.
I keep them to myself,
I may tell people
But they are still my thoughts.
And I don't share them with anyone.

You may laugh.
You may cry.
You may be angry
You may be happy,
Astonished or surprised,
Shocked or hurt,
But they will remain my thoughts.

I may be lost in them,
They may be lost in me.
I may be deep in them,
They may be deep in me.
I may want to tell you
I may want to keep them to myself.
But... My thoughts belong to me.
Your thoughts belong to you.
We may be thinking about the same things,
But we have different thoughts,
Because we are different too.

You may love or hate me,
You may find me boring or interesting.
But I will always say what I think,
In a good or bad way
Because they are mine.
