I use
too many words
I hide
behind those words
I am afraid
~
Afraid that if I don't use the words
You will misunderstand
I am afraid
That you won't like me
That you won't like
the me
that I want to be
~
I hate
being afraid
of who I am
Of how you
see me
~
I want
to be free
To be more
than enough
for me
Prompted by this, this, her, my pastor's sermon, and a thousand other little things.
