My five syllables
Are followed by seven more.
Is this a haiku?

Don't think that I'm broken
Just because I crack
I'm shedding my skin
And I am healed because of that

Reticent

I donโ€™t hate you.

Iโ€™m just reticent.

Reluctant to share where
This hesitation came from
But I swear I care,
I swear I care.

It doesnโ€™t make sense,
This reticence is like barbed wire fence
Around my heart so when
You try to touch it h u r t s.
