Late night ramblings

If i took this feeling right now and kept it
I think it would distroy me
My friends would just not recognise
The way i wear my emotions
Because its not something they would understand
When life is going alright
Do you suddenly stop short
Feelings creeping behind shadows
Lingering in corners
Waiting
Ever waiting to pounce
My insecurities
Are trying to squeeze through the cracks
Love lies waiting at my door
So why do i linger in corners
Answers are within
The truth is somewhere between
Knowing and not admitting
I will try not hurt a soul
In my journey for freedom
But i do worry that they will feel the pain
Its a big responsibility
Im not sure i was ready for
But I love all the same
And hold true what i feel in my heart
I see the light
But I also see shadows
Not knowing where life is leading is exciting and worrying all the same
Boundaries beckon me home
And I love to hide behind the darkness
Which some could never understand
Surely when you love someone you should be able
To show them who you are
Where youve been as well as where your going
So why do I not want you to know
All that is me

I know this feeling well; to bottle up and resist can seem to destroy us - I am also not one to dump my feelings onto my friends; i usually am the one resolving my issues because not all friends can relate

very intimate piece; it reveals that even though love is born inside of us; it is not a miraculous cure to make us great communicators - perhaps the fears of losing love if we show our insecurities will lead love to move away

Yep me too, a man with a thousand faces yet none of them mine

the insecurities of life can keep one from exposing their true emotions and character...nice work on this poetic thought...

Oh my God.. I'm crying.. so much raw emotion and so true for so many.. An absolute perfect write on the struggles we face in not just trusting those around us but in a sense trusting our inner voice.. Love it Peb's xx Off to get a tissue..x
