I feel guilty for existing.
What do I bring to the table
Other than my emotions?
Some are uncomfortable.
But I feel so strongly
About being truthfully emotional.
I am me and that won’t change.
So one thing I can do
Is channel what I hold inside.
To share what is mine
So maybe others will connect
And accept what they hide.
We should all face our shadows
Without fear of what we’ll
Encounter and recognize.
It’s better to cut it all loose,
Of course at appropriate times.
But sometimes the floodgates
Are not strong enough,
With no care for conditions.
And that’s okay too.
