Now I understand
why I once
and am
afraid to share
my thoughts
and words
and speak up
in the form of poetry...
It's the fear
of being understood.

I guess,
it's kind of like,
I dont want
to show
the real me,
because of what people will think.

Like I dont want
to be different.
I'm scared of
uniqueness, originality, and individuality.
I have to be
just like everyone else...
Because eevryone else
is the right way.
I secretly tell myself.
Like being the hidden me
is wrong.
Like there actually is
a right personality
and a wrong personality.

But see,
I dont understand...
Why am I scared.
Scared of being understood.
And in conclusion,
finding opinions
and the
Truth.

The fear runs deep
and holds me back.
Makes me fake
and plain.

I just needa
step up the game
and the confidence
and the independence,
So thatm
I can show Me.
It must fade away...
The fear of being understood.

****Dang I just realized this yesterday and I really do gotta step up the game. But let me know what you think****
