The Post

What I write  I write for me
Never for anyone else to see 
Always afraid of what others would  think 
Reading these words I had inked 
Sharing all my thoughts inside 
Everything that I inscribed 
Bearing my soul as I write 
Letting someone read it gave me such fright
So I put aside  this fear
As I'm posting here
If you like it that's just fine 
Hope you enjoyed every line 
If you don't that's okay 
I only wrote it for me anyway

Thank you for your comment. Posting my poems is part of my overcome my fears journey. I have come to realize as long as I like what I write that's all that matters.
