Hold Back


Hold Back

cause you don't

want them to know about you.

you don't want to talk

not cause your shy 

but you don't want them 

to know you

your feelings

your hopes

dreams

fears.

you don't want them to get near

your heart

so you hold back

you leave out

some information

stay mysterious 

look serious

you just don't want them to 

know

NO
