Bottled Up

I keep my feelings bottled up 

Locked away from prying eyes 

For fear of judgment or rejection 

Or the pain of being criticized 

I smile and nod and play along 

But inside I’m a stormy sea 

My emotions churning and roiling 

But no one knows the real me 

I’m afraid of being vulnerable 

Of showing my true self 

So, I keep my guard up constantly 

And put my feelings on the shelf 

But I know this isn’t healthy 

To keep it all inside 

I need to find a way to open up 

And let my emotions take a ride 

To let my true self show 

-Bottled Up- 

Blessings and Love!

Tough!

I am a fortress, built of stone and steel

My heart encased, unable to feel

I am tough, hardened by life’s cruel cost

But lost, adrift, with no sense of exhaust.

My walls are high, my moat is deep

My guard is up, my secrets to keep

I am impenetrable, a force to behold

Yet inside I am empty, alone and cold.

I’ve been hurt before, too many times

So I protect myself, with these hardened lines

I don’t let anyone in, no matter how close

For fear of the pain, the hurt and the blows.

But sometimes I wonder, is it worth the cost

To be tough, hard, guarded and lost?

To live life in solitude, with no one to trust

Is this really what it means to be tough?

-Tough-

Blessings and Love! 🖤🤎💙💚🧡💛💗💜🤍❤

Issues

Really think I have issues lol. Like damn why am I so guarded with people. I am so on edge. Attitude issues as well. And can easily walk away from people to keep myself from getting hurt. Seriously I am too good at goodbyes. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Yes serious issues. Over thinker here.

There are so many issues I really need to work on. This process is hard. Ohhh man. I’m just thinking out loud with too much on my mind. Y’all sometimes I irritate my own self when feeling like too much on my shoulders lol..So much damn anxiety

Okay I’m done. Hope everyone is doing better!!

My Heart Guarded

Heart Guarded

Sometimes I hate that I am so guarded, and I keep everything in. emotions are bottled up and I do not show that side of me. I do not fully put my feelings out there because I have feelings of being wronged and hurt. I do not like to love and be vulnerable, people will use that against you. That is why I guard my mind and my heart. It is true that I can be afraid of rejection. I do not trust easily either I have major trust issues and I know that is holding me back, but I cannot just fully put my trust in others. I am also guarded because I feel like people have negative motives, and I do not like that shit. I am guarded because I have not healed from my past, I need to let go and move on. Is it bad that I cannot let my guard down? Working on changing that, maybe just do not want to get hurt anymore I’ so freaking over it. I am just thinking out loud, my crazy thoughts. SMH it how I am feeling though. My heart is guarded. I need help!
