we make ourselves vulnerable when we express our inner feelings...and often our heart gets crushed---
those faceless, heartless people who never show themselves.
reminds me of high school dances when the guys would laugh at me because i got out on the floor and danced...always the first one...they laughed but it was because they couldn't dance themselves...so it made them feel better about themselves to make fun of me...it's like that with people.
but i have always believed in showing the real me regardless of consequence.
really like this poem...last line in fifth stanza might be "and threw it piece by piece"---

We take a chance when we reveal our true selves to people, very often this is why people hide behind a facade, it tends to be safer there, although a lonely place to dwell. Great read Dhaye!

The pleasure was mine, I relate to this one profoundly.
your poem clearly shows what's the reality of the world and its people is! anyone in this world just can't afford to be transparent! good work! keep it up! (y)
when I read this, I see a different perspective, as if you are a reporter, writing an article, in doing so, there will always be someone who will not like it...
on the other side, the world is indeed full of faceless people, i saw it too many times that i am used to it, that i myself do the same sometimes, well aren't we all have a facade that covers us... its a harsh world out there, we know that to well, aren't we... but despite everything else, we risk something for what we love - and that show's we show who we are...
very nice, i like it!

"Aren't we all have a facade that covers us?" ---Maybe yes, maybe no. The choice still depends on the "ears" that hear. Anyway, "in every rule there is an exemption".
Haha! I love quotes and idioms nowadays.
Thanks for peeking in, Pax.

You are so right. You can show your truth to the world but if the world does not like truth they will mock us , make fun of us , treat us with disdain. If we show vulnerability it is like inviting wolves who are heartless...Bravo
