Loneliness

Does it make me a liar to keep secrets from you?
Is it a sin to hide in the shadows?
Will I get a time-out for not sharing my news?
Can I no longer be named a hallow?
What has been said is nothing but facts –
My words always check out to be valid.
Because I am shy, I wear a mask;
Like my voice, it is insipid and pallid.
Why draw attention when it cannot be kept?
They will leave, just like everyone before them.
In my time of loneliness, I have wept.
There was no pity – I only seem to bore them.
Don't say I am whiny, I have reason to pout
For I have nowhere to go – you have put me out.
