Journal

I have never methodically journaled before. I have only ever just played with words, rhymes, metaphors, and riddles. Jotted as a collective, only I really know the origin or understand the meaning. Sure the world could lay eyes upon my hands wanderings , poetry is open to the individual no true criticism or judgement could ever be cast. This is where I have hid, safe within my projected illusions. So why now do I betray my own carefully constructed defenses? Allowing for brief moments a glance in?

I always think it is good to let the emotions out into the public arena. I'm not sure, for me, if I'm looking to have my emotions justified or maybe looking just looking for answers to questions I already know the answers to but am not willing to admit I know them. Thanks for the glance.
