Sweet Anticipation.
As the words escape my mouth,
Pouring out,
Revealing all the thoughts, all the fears,
All that is me.

I feel most vulnerable then,
Open as a book,
Exposed to the world,
Piercing glances, weird looks,
But with each thought on paper,
Word on song,
Each feeling expressed,
Emptiness gone,
There is no hesitation,
Its sweet anticipation.

As the words escape my mouth,
Pouring out,
I am at peace,
The ultimate release,
No care of being judged,
I won’t begrudge me,
This sweet anticipation.

And as I come to an end,
Last line sung,
I feel empty again,
Emotionally wrung,
I walk away,
Tears strolling down my cheek,
I miss the apprehension.
The sweet Anticipation.
