Words come from deep within
Fighting to be let out
My hands hover over the keyboard
Afraid to let them go
Holding onto them is easier
Than risking rejection
Slowly they are released
Words of love, passion or pain
Then easily deleted
With the push of a button
Pulling them back inside
To where they are safe
Deep within my mind
Hidden and protected
By this wall of doubt I’ve erected.
