I Value My Privacy

My most powerful emotion, locked away in a room that no one can enter but me. Privacy. I threw away the key. I tried pouring them into the lake one evening, one by one, but they continued to follow me like my shadow that appears on every single wall that I see. I tried to bury them along with the seeds I planted in the garden. They continued to follow me. Every time I looked in the mirror, I tried to copy and paste the facade I let the world see. I wanted to make it permanent, but that was impossible. So I locked them away in a room that no one can enter but me.
I threw away the key. I needed privacy.
