Don'T Mind the Feelings

Torn by the knowledge
                  do you like me for my security and confidence?
                 But having the need to tell someone of my fears 
                                     I wage a war silently.
                              Should I be strong in your sight 
                                not letting my feelings show
                                     forgetting my worries?     
                                                  OR  
                               show that I trust you enough
                           to tell you of the hurts and shadows 
                                  that play upon my sanity...
                               Would you feel weighed down
                          by the responsibility of comforting me?
                                                   OR
                                   touched by the need of me
                                         to confide in you.....
