Once
I took a step
a risk, and
I felt pain,
here I’m safe,
you see part of me
but not the whole
I’m keeping some of me
for me,
and, when I’m ready,
perhaps I’ll share some more
of who I really am.

I love this one! Do any of us ever really share 100% of who we are, even with spouses or close friends? I think not.

I agree, I don’t think we do, we always keep a bit for ourselves, and need to. Thanks Jill 🙂
