how do you open up? <br />when you don't know how? <br />i mean where do you start? <br />people want to know what's going on, <br />how do you let them in? <br />can they be trusted? <br />for the way you feel? <br />just want to hide, <br />don't want to face it, <br />but you know you have to, <br />scared of what might happen, <br />but, is it for the best? <br />do we all need to reach out for help, <br />when we need it the most? <br />afraid to show your weakness, <br />because it just not you, <br />but, people you care about want in, <br />do you let them in? <br />even though you afraid they might be hurt, <br />about what you have to say? <br />but, so tired of it eating you up, <br />deep inside, <br />where it shouldn't even be, <br />because fear keeps me frozen, <br />from sharing what i'm going through, <br />will they understand? <br />can they come to an agreement? <br />i'm tiried of feeling alone in this, <br />will somebody help me through? <br />show me the way, <br />show me the light, <br />i want to be free, <br />but, instead i have so much holding me down, <br />i don't want to get judge, <br />i don't want to be bossed around, <br />what i want is to be able to not hide, <br />so much inside. <br />Copyright © 2009 <br /> <br />4-25-09<br /><br />mona martinez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/afraid-to-show-what-s-really-going-on/
