I Write

No one knows who I can really be all they see is the insecure me I'm sad, I'm happy, I want to cry somebody please, please don't ask me why I can't can't explain what's going on my head is crammed with things to say so I write

I’m an empath who didn’t know it back then. I wonder if these were even my emotions. Written in 2005 and June 3,2006 #poetry #poem #depression

But since being on this platform, I have been able to open up a lot of my inner spaces to share things. And it's because of people like you who have the courage to come on here and to share themselves. And in you I see my reflection and it helps me to be able to open up more and be more of myself without fear. So thank you so much for this piece and thank you for sharing it. I really admire you for that and appreciate you for that

Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us. I really appreciate hearing something that is so relatable to me as well. I do think that there is a strange mixture for some of us of the desire to be known and to be seen and understood and also a terror of those exact same things. And I get a sense of that from some some of the words that you chose here. And I know it takes courage to even get contradictory concepts like that out

I so appreciate the responses and the time taken to not only hesr my words, but feel them.

Thank you both for listening and commenting and just so happy that not only one, but two people are relating to my thoughts, especially thoughts that I wrote on paper, like, so long ago. And I'm able to speak them in 23, and they still hold weight, and I am just thankful. So thank you both. Let's just continue to create, to share, to listen, and to be authentic
