Jane Wainwright Poet Lyric

I Want To Hide

I want to hide here
Under the dark-clouded sky
For I have exposed my soul
With what I have said
And the looming, dark, gray
Can cover my nakedness.
I am shivering 
Because it is cold here
Being unveiled and cringing
And my cloud-clothes
Are only vapors
But their rain may wash me clean
Perhaps their rain will wash me clean.

I wonder:
Is this how anyone else feels after you've revealed too much about yourself?
