Bearing My Heart

I can come across as confident, Always known for being too loud, Sometimes struggle to cope with noise, Become overwhelmed in a crowd. Anxiously bite the skin from my lip, Frantically fidget and tap my toes, Can even have a sneezing fit, From a nervous twitch in my nose. At times can suddenly burst into song, Even randomly scream and shout, Nervously talk at some speed, Or silently struggle to get a word out. Tried my best to hide it all, Hoping that people could not see, All it did was make things worse, So I gave up and let it be. Then I started to write my poetry, Owning the quirks that signify me, No idea how healing it would be, Bearing my heart for all to see.
