I've Decided...

…never again, will 'These Walls' come down.

By Josh MorganPublished about a year ago 1 min read

never again...

will you hear from me-

you might hear from my mouth

but not from my heart

and neither my mind

never again...

will you hear my real voice

you'll still see my "face"

but not beneath any mask i wear...

who i am will never be revealed to you again-

no...

i don't want you to know me

this vow i promise i will keep

that you will never see the real me again.

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.

    Heartbreaking and very relatable. Having to choose who sees the real you is so hard.
