Feelings
I can't remember if I wrote this or not but it is something I found today in a box of old stuff from my high school days. I added some photos to my photos page that were in the collection of stuff too.
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish them. Works shrink things that once seemed limitless in your head, to no more then living size when they are brought out. But it's more then that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to where ever your secret heart is buried, like a landmark to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why it was so important you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst I think, when a secret stays locked up inside not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear."
I know that this little poem (If you can call it that) was very important to me all through High School and I even think about it from time to time now. I just wanted to share it with you. And now I can be free of it.
