PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm not the best

at expressing my thoughts,

my views,

my feelings,

unless I have a pen in hand.

Scared to let people see

the scared little girl

who is always there

lingering inside of me.

Does it ever change?

Or will this little girl

always be inside of me

never far from thought?

Some day I hope

to open up.

to be more myself.

Though its difficult

I try everyday

to let a little more show.

What would they think

if I showed

how truly insecure I am?

Would they laugh

my fears and doubts away?

Would they leave

thinking me someone 

they really don't know at all?

Ah! Growing older

doesn't seem to help.

I'm still left wondering...

but I have chosen to just be

and hope those around me

will accept what I have to give.
