For once this is not a love poem...

I thought I'd have another go at a sonnet, it's not great but I'm only young and I'm developing better poetry skills with each poem I write. This sonnet is about how humans hide emotions even from those they are closest to, and instead we let it build up inside of us. Enjoy, and thank you for reading!


Sonnet II

Sometimes I feel even when surrounded
by the biggest of crowds, that I am all…
Alone. By this you may be astounded,
for even though I cherish you all,
I cannot truly be myself. I must
hold back certain emotions and not share,
as I do not want them to be discussed.
These feelings I’m now unable to bare,
Soon I fear I may erupt. By locking
problems away inside, they may be trapped
from reality but stop denying,
I must now reveal the truth and adapt.
My friends you are, and the real me you shall
now see as we float along the canal.
