Poetry: A Self Study (Part 1) (Thu 20/08/2015)

I've always written poetry alone.
It's a baring of my soul
An event that I want not to share
A vulnerability I trust to none

Poetry is my expression of emotion
A stream of consciousness
and my true self
poured freely onto the paper.

To share that in someone's company
frightens me.

You could glance over at any time
and see
that I am far more
Vulnerable
Twisted
and
Disturbed
than I've always shown myself to be

And you'll ask questions
to which I cannot answer
Because then I will have to face the fact
that I am
Not okay

(AN: This and the next poem are a two part thing. I wrote them separately and then realised they went brilliantly as a pair.)
