When...

sometimes i'm scared to share my writing because i think you guys won't like it, or i'm afraid to share a certain part of my past and i worry. but it's always worth it. thank you for all the support.

When you can't write

About what truly matters

Because you're scared that

Life would simply shatter. 

When you can't fully 

Explain your past 

Like not being able 

To take off a cast. 

When you're afraid that

Your life is crumbling 

That you're in ruins

It's like you're tumbling. 

When you hate yourself 

For getting lost

In those memories

And you pay the cost. 

When you read those stories 

And you think 

It's not so hard 

The ship won't sink.

When you try 

So hard to write 

And it all pours out 

Clearing your sight. 

When you destroy 

Your simple stories 

And fear comes back 

To fill you with worry. 

When you are scared 

Just use this tip 

Take the risk 

And jump the ship.

Writing is therapy as well as expression. I agree it is hard to share because it is such a piece of yourself. This is beautiful; I can feel all of the emotion.
Keep writing!

. oh, your words flow beautifully ... i agree with your perspective completely ... a lot of people have tried to silence me in various ways ... but i'm glad i didn't get silenced ... that would have been disastrous for them as well ... your tip is more powerful than you realize ... or, perhaps you do realize how powerful it is ... regardless, this is truly excellent work ... very inspirational ... :) ...

Beautiful poetry, I felt these words deep within my heart. Never be afraid to share your work. If it comes from your heart, readers will register it.

Great write; thanks for sharing. :-)

Poignant write like the flow and the way you infuse it with trepidation.

[Owlgirl]

Great poem, the emotion, the breaking, amazing. The vocabulary is well used and the flow is smooth, beautiful poem.

I enjoy many of your poems! The anxiety on what others may be thinking of you is overwhelming, all of us may have felt it here and there. Many of these lines were cleverly written, especially the connection between the past and a cast for a sprained/broken bone. How it hurts and you fear you are not able to live without it. Well done!
