Talking

I can't talk to you about it

It's not as easy as you think

to share your feelings with

someone else as I don't 

know how you'll react when

you learn how I've been 

feeling all this time.

You sigh and say it's easy,

just talk. But you don't 

realise the heartache it 

causes to feel this way

let alone express it to you.

It's too painful to even think

about let alone put into words.

You'd think I'm stupid, foolish

even. A coward for not telling 

you sooner, when I was too 

afraid to do so. You may think

I'm over reacting when really 

I'm overwhelmed by the reality

of what I have to face each day.

No, I couldn't possibly try to

explain myself to you as you'd

never be able to comprehend, 

let alone ever understand what 

 is going on in my head each day.

I will live in fear, as always, too

afraid to discover the hope in life
