Finally Letting it Out

“Let out your feelings!”
They say.
“You’ll feel better!”
They say.

Now that I’ve finally done that,
I don’t know if I actually do feel better.
Sure, I feel a little more open to you,
A little more relieved to let it all out.

But, pouring out my heart to you
Makes me relive all those moments again,
The moments I’ve been running away from.

I feel vulnerable.
I feel scared.

But, now that you know me better,
I hope I’ll have you by my side
To catch me when I run from myself again and again.
