Vulnerable

My Explanation to him:

Vulnerable

I don't mean to keep myself hidden,
It's just that I've been doing it so long.
So if I don't open up to you,
Don't think that you've done wrong.

If I have to let my feelings out,
If ever I have to let go,
I talk to those who can't hear me
Those that will never truly know.

-Strangers that will listen,
But sooner they will forget
Because not I, nor my emotion
Have they ever really met.

My secrets can't be revealed,
By simply speaking them outloud
My photographic memory
Developes pictures underground.

I try so hard to let you in
But I'm so scared to let you see,
Just how weak and scared I am
To live my life as me.

I've never liked to cry at all,
But I try to show I do.
And you'll sleep your dreams away,
While I expose my tears to you.

I confide to the walls, I confide to this paper
But the pen knows not what it feels.
I'll confess to God, because I've lost all faith
-My confession is no longer real.

I've love to be the person, who throws their trust to the wind,
But I'm not that strong, and I don't want you to see
Just how weak and scared I am
To live my life as me.

--------------------
I know some rhythm is inconsistant, and I'll work on that later... This was mostly to try and make sense of myself.

    I've felt exactly like that before. And I did everything but the right thing, to tell him what was bugging me. I hurt him that way. This was a wonderful poem, Sometimes i get bored with poems and stop halfway, but that one trapped me, it was really nice. I totally connect to what you wrote.

    Wow, Hun. This was so amazing. It flowed really well. The ending was a bit rocky, I think. But this was just so heartfelt. I really loved this. It said so much about you. And, in a way, I can totally relate to it.

    I loved the very last two lines :] So beautiful.

    My secrets can't be revealed,
    By simply speaking them outloud
    My photographic memory
    Developes pictures underground.

    ^ My favorite stanza. This was just, wow. PERFECTLY PERFECT.

    Beautifully penned, m'dear.
