Like Dancing Naked It Is

Like dancing naked it is
to expose my feeling thoughts this way

My words give me away
my feelings on display

It's why I never shared it before
in any meaningful way

I could not stomach to feel myself
so share them all ? no way!

So it's more like crawling on broken glass
or swallowing a lump with mass

And I hope with releasing them here
this too shall soon come to pass

I am told its normal to feel
but I can tell you for me it's unreal

I was really good at being devoid of mood
and living beneath a rational hood

This feeling thing misunderstood by me
and so at times my rational mind sets me free

The up, down and sideways of life
is not a pleasant place to be.
