Unburdening
the spotlight shone down on your confidence
false in your pretenses to care
yet I snatched up my courage and took the chance
to say the things I ached to
and the words spilled from my mouth, I tasted the bitterness of folly
for I knew that these words would soon leave me undone
remind me why this came to be, though it is obvious to see
why my unburdening failed
I said too much too soon
and now I am the fool
perhaps next time this comes around
I will stay silent and keep my feet on the ground
now you look at me with caution
the oddity of things I've spoken are already here to haunt me
every instinct within me screams to run away
to flee reality
at act as if these words were never said
as if the moment never existed
it seems the fates mock me as you urge- please continue
so now I am torn
to speak or hold my peace
the peace of things that are not yet through
if I speak you will condemn me
if I am silent, you will curse me
all I wish is that you see
my reality
