Exposed

8. Be honest

Why cant we say how we feel

Be honest

Be truthful

To yourself

And to the world

Just say it

Admit it

Yes, i was scared

Scared to go back there

Scared it would happen again

Yes, i feel left out

Wish i was invited

Wish i didnt want to be there

Then why

Is the answer

No

Is it so hard

Instead of one word

To say the other

Both the same length

Yet one of the words

Holds so much power

So much shame

So much dignity hidden behind it

For absolutely

No good reason
