Go Away

My mind is a desolate area, abandoned and waiting
The pen is a keeper of my thoughts ready to burst
The ink in the pen flows smoothly changing my thoughts into words
The paper is a safe place kept secret, away from prying eyes
The binding of the notebook clasps many papers together, ensuring they'll never be lost
The tattered old cover makes it unnoticeable, never looked at twice
My cold hand shakes as it picks up the pen
I slowly begin to write two words on the first blank paper:
Go away.
