You don’t get it yet and so you sit on the fence…
Liking, commenting, mostly lurking and sometimes sharing what I do…
And you try to ignore that little voice in your chest that is telling you to reach out and work with me…
You tell yourself that you don’t need it…
You tell yourself ... Views: 1475

I have spent many a night lying in bed, petrified…
Fear appearing like a real person…
