It's been eating me up for weeks.
I've received many looks of concern.
A few reach out only to be pushed away.
I keep quiet -everything but nothing to say.
I want so bad to tell.
Just so I can get some advice on what to do
but deep inside I know I can't tell you.

I know that this piece may seem kind of confusing. That's how I wrote it because that's how I felt at the time. Confused.

yeah the biggest for me is what they will think so i end up bottling it up and never letting it out...which is worse than having the whole world hate you because you end up hating yourself for keeping quiet

I agree. I have trouble finding someone to trust because you never know who they will tell, what they will do or if they will judge. Definitely one of the hardest decisions I face on a regular basis. Thank you for your comments!

thank you for your comment :) Don't be afraid to post stuff...most likely there is another person who is feeling the same way and they would be happy to read what you have written.
