A Fear of Recognition

March 13, 2008
By Anonymous

I am alone
Within a crowd
This craziness is silence
Though silence is loud.
The quiet of my own voice
Slowly Deafens me
The consequence of my own choice
Keeps me from being free.
but I keep choosing, losing.
Trapping myself in repetition
I have a fear of being seen
A fear of recognition.

That is a very good poem because it captures exactly the feeling of being quiet and being afraid to be heard. Good Job!
