Loving From Within Poem by Linda Barnes

I will not reveal
All my hidden pain
Its locked inside
Far from prying minds

Everyone wants to see
Into a life not theirs
Is it because they feel
Left out or compromised?

It is not about them
But what I hold so dear
Its my life's story
Many pages in a book

If I print those pages
Would they understand?
How I could keep secrets
From everyone of them

I'm not mysterious
Just a woman alone
Loving from within
Admiring from afar
