It was interesting
how quickly
they stopped telling their
friends
about my
blog

when the poetry
about my life
started to appear.

The truth was
something unheard of.

And when I told them I'd
stopped writing,
I could see the relief
that they tried to
mask, as it
flooded their
voices and
their eyes stopped
looking so
frightened.

Maybe they think
that if I stop writing about
problems,

they'll just
go
away.

Maybe being anonymous
is easier for
both of us.
