Dealing with new feelings and fear of bring exposed in a world that tells us "be evasive or lose the game".

This is my public declaration of like,
The reason that I just can't hide,
All the things I feel inside,
Oozing out of my skin,
Painted out, from within

This is my weakness trying to be strong,
The reason I write words, and sing songs,
All the things I feel inside,
All the things I want to hide....

I don't want to seem needy
I don't want to care too much
But everytime I see you, hear you,
All I think about is how I want to touch
The deepest part of you,
Pull it out of your eyes,
Into mine...
If you would just give me time...

Author's Note

It's less evasive thsn what I usually do

This is actually good. I chose it based off the title. In life, we have two options: to be fearless or insecure. I believe the second option is more humane. No one is truly invincible, as emotions and feelings are often our most exposed weakness.

You are a rare gift in this world: a talented, truthful writer/poet. Blessings be upon you. Great work.

Thanks Bryanel and I've come to a point on life where I can agree with that- it's hard when at first when you want to play to win the game and not be viewed as "weak" but its a lot healthier for your spirit and soul to be friends with your emotions.

Impressive. You are a wise person if you can see this truth. As a male, I'm often told to put my emotions aside and not show them. Sometimes, I break down and think "why?" Meaning, as a male, I feel that society does not understand what expectations do to the human soul. They tend to make the soul weary and trodden. Emotions can be kept for secret, private moments, like, when we sing or write?

Such people are truly gifted when they speak with wisdom such as you. I really respect that.
