I was nervous to tell you
Honestly
I didn’t know how you would react,
How people usually react.
My biggest secrets
I think
Carry so much
Weight. Don’t they?
What would you say?
I wondered a while
Would you be angry?
Or would I just make you sad?
But…
you
just
said
that
you
Loved
Me
.
I
Thought it would make
You less inclined
Toward me.
I
Didn’t think I could be loved
Not like this,
Not really.
I don’t think I understand love
What I’ve been taught,
What I’ve experienced.
But I love yours–
Your version.
I don’t know
How you will react when I tell you more,
But something–
Something inside me
Hopes it will be loved.
If I confess
Will you be there to ease my stress?
I worry, nevertheless,
But trust you more, regardless.

We all want to be loved for who we are but are often too afraid of rejection to tell anyone who we are. The secret is that in truth we find out who really loves us and not the facade that we put on. A wonderful write the cuts to the heart of social fake pretense. Well done
Yes, it's so difficult to be yourself and live your truth. Thanks for reading!
You are most welcome NinjaGirl
Love this!!!
Thank you!
I know that fear of being less loved once the truth is spoken. The hope you hold here feels earned, not naïve. This understands the risk it takes just to trust. Very well done, dear friend. Welcome back...you've been missed! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you very much!!
You are most welcome!
when you have someone trusting in you - let go and accept - you are lucky to get it even while you were unsure about it...
