Every single time I write

Every single time I write to you.

I feel so exposed.

I’m sharing a piece of me with you.

I let you see my weaknesses, my strengths

what makes me tick and what makes me smile.

I feel so exposed but so content.

All that I had bottled up inside

is now being aired out.

I let you read my mind,

I let you in.

Every single time that I write.

I feel vulnerable.

I’m afraid that you’ll hold it against me.

Every single time,

I feel so exposed

like you won’t want me.

I feel like you knowing every bit about me,

will either make you want to run

but I hope it makes you want to stay.

Every single time I write.
