To feel or not to feel, that is the question Whether 'tis wiser to open up And risk vulnerability by sharing emotions Or to keep everything inside And feel numb To speak, to hurt - No more - and by a word to say that I won't Be alone anymore, although revealing my Worries, doubts, and fears might cause More harm than remaining silent - thus I would Rather not talk at all. To stress, to worry - To worry, perchance to wound. Ay, there's the dilemma. For wounding leads to scars, both emotional and physical. It is not worth is to me, to go through the pain of keeping Everything bottled up, to keep everything hidden. Talking to someone could turn out to be better in the end. For who wants to feel invisible and be Discriminated because of their opinions Shunned because they are not perfect Judged by what they believe Ignored because they might not act normal And humiliated because of their differences, When everyone has felt insecure about Something at some point in their lives? Who would risk everything, to reveal personal Secrets and passions and dreams, But that the feelings of assurance, love, Understanding and relief might Tempt me to communicate With others - to let out all of the anger and stress Felt inside - knowing that I'm not alone? Thus being able to feel secure is an appealing fate And the fears of vulnerability are being Lured away by the comforts of being understood and Believed in, I might find myself traveling toward the bright Aspects of my future, knowing that life is too Amazing and beautiful to waste away, feeling insecure and alone. |
