disclosure to another
disclosure to self
discovering
one's own safety level
finding that it meets requirements
to absolve oneself of guilt
of not saying what
one burns to say
my yearning bubble has popped
and let my need escape
and rise up above my fearful ego
thank you
thank you
for hearing me

I thank me for being brave
and though I don't know
how this unfolds
I know that it is not lack of knowledge
that brings me to tears
but a heart overflowing,
that will not be contained
by a story of self-doubt,
protection and chains
that shorten the distance
between what is felt and
expressed.

Every moment to unfold
perfectly, precisely
leading to the next
as it is, as it will
who knows what the future means,
what it brings,
so I stop now.
