The words we say .
Those we keep inside.
Why should we open ourselves.
and if so , how deep or how wide?

As artist and creatives why do we feel the need to give
to let others know,
we think and feel.
We live.

To be the center of attention?
A pat on the back ?
A gold star?
So we won't be the only one drinking
alone
in some seedy smoke filled bar.

The words we choose
and those  we wish others would throw away.
How hard and how long we write
What we choose not to say.
