avoid vulnerability....i think not nada no way ok

do u know

how to put on a show

hide what you're feeling

when your senses are reeling

don't we all wear a mask

hiding feelings is a task

we must master

to avoid disaster

vulnerability

is scary to me

but sometimes if you put yourself out there

you may get positive feedback beware

your hidden feelings made known

true friendship may have grown

others can relate

when you keep them up to date

don't be afraid

to put yourself out there

many comments will be made

so be ready and beware

it is worth the risk, trust me

i speak from experience you see

Author's Notes/Comments:

how often do we try to keep true feelings hidden to save what? feeling vulnerable? feeling like we might say something wrong? why do we do it? I know we all do, but why do we do it? that is what I was feeling when I wrote this poem....
