Stumble

I often question myself as to why

my mind goes blank when people ask

what are some of your favourite things

maybe i'm not used to interest 

so i blush and say something that makes no sense

i beat myself up because of this

i'm thinking it because i've been hurt

i have passions, many

but i don't let people to close

they can use what i love agaisnt me

throw it in face like many have before

so i'm sorry if i stumble out something stupid

it's because i'm afraid to say

all of the things that make me happy

much to my dismay

It's understandable not wanting to let people get too close to you. However, like anything, in excess it becomes a problem. But this is a very relatable poem, and I completely get needing to keep what you love hidden away from a sometimes cruel world. This is a nice poem with a lot of heart. Thank you for sharing it :)

Thank you for the kind review and words, you are right it definitely can become a problem as I've learned. but words like your's make me feel a little more brave.
