~Listen. A whisper~
Able to understand.
Listen. A Whisper.
Secrets known but unearthed.
Help me to be what I am not,
Myself.
Truth revealed, only seconds to heal
Stop. I can't be
unbroken.
It's what you understand
that keeps you
Able.

Secrets known but unearthed
Help me to be what I am,

Stop. unbroken,
I can't be.
It's what you understand,
that keeps you Able to understand.
Listen.

Very good!
I like what you did here, you wrote it as the thoughts came of self and not, confusion. I like it because I felt the fear of unsure of what shall come. I also enjoyed the way you structure the lines. A very good first post.

This gives me the creeps
It is like asking the significant other to work it out without you giving honest information.
Communication works both ways.
cheers,

hello and welcome to neopoet!
hello and welcome to neopoet! For some reason, your title annoys me: ~Listen. A Whisper~ I think it maybe that i find tilda's and periods distracting in the title. Perhaps: Listen, a Whisper or Listen... A Whisper this is just my opinion. I liked these lines:
Help me to be what I am not,
Myself.
Truth revealed, only seconds to heal
Stop. I can't be
unbroken.
always, Cat
