A Little Time Out Of My Day (Poetry Sidebar: Vol Eight)
Feeling vulnerable Then open up Feeling… What? Just open up? What if we don’t know enough? Then you’ll learn along the way In the meantime it could fall apart I could disappoint What if it all ends so quickly? Then you’ll start again The last time I was broken I was empty I’m just… Afraid What if it is a cycle of repeated sadness Then you finally accept sadness is human What if I just stop caring? I just let these lofty feelings go? I move on and try to be happy with the regret? Can you do that? I… Can you? Hello? Are you still there? I guess not
