I share too much….

Most of the time I am like an open book

My emotions are reflected in how I look

I share too much, wear my heart on my sleeve

I call a spade a spade, and tell people what I believe

The consequences are not always pleasant

I spill too many secrets in the heat of the moment..

*

When I get hurt, to myself I vow

That spilling my guts out I would not allow

My very loquacious tongue to do

My resolve is good for a day or two

Until I find a friendly, attentive ear

And I completely disregard my fear

I share things about me that portray me

In a rather poor light, unfortunately

*

I know I increase my vulnerability

By sharing my life and my thoughts excessively

In a world where our lives are on constant display

I have to be more discerning in what I say

But when I try to develop an aura of mystery around me

I come across as aloof, reserved or even unfriendly..

*

If I could come across as honest and considerate

Without divulging my secrets, that would be for me an achievement great
