I've never been
Afraid of my own poems before
They've always been outlets
Ways to express emotion
To dump out all the
Chaotic feelings cluttering up my mind
After I've written them
I have always been able
To go back
And read them
And then I understand myself better
But now
I know myself a bit better
And I still feel hurt
By the poems I write
By the poems I wrote
I'm afraid of my own work
Because
While I would like to know more
About myself
To read the poems
I've already forgotten
And to understand
The feelings
I've written to express
I'm deeply afraid
That the poems
Will trigger my emotions
Instead of explaining how I felt
