The Real Me

The thought of letting people inside of my mind, while I am saying my thoughts aloud

instills more fear in me than covid 19.

Can they handle the real me?

What happens

when it is not all so neat?

For so long I have chosen to often times just sit quietly,

observing

and keeping only to me.

Now the time has come where I so often freely speak,

however that doesn't change the fact that deep down

there is somehow still,

a deep fear of being opinionated

instilled in me.
