What I don’t write about..

I write about a range of subjects wide

But what I want to write most about, I hide

There are emotions trying to get organized

Into words, to suppress them I have tried

Because I am not mentally prepared

For my innermost thoughts to be shared

I skirt around my emotions, I try to find

Anything to write about other than what’s on my mind

*

I try to remind myself not to seek external validation

When I write, it should serve as a distillation

Of my thoughts and emotions, therefore I should not be

Inhibited by the thought of being judged negatively

*

Writing is an exercise in being comfortable

In my own skin, in letting myself be vulnerable

Perhaps I shall get there one day

And to shape my deepest emotions in words, find a way
