heart vs mind...again!

My heart wants to pour itself out onto the page, while my mind screams “STOP!” My heart needs the release while my mind fears the reaction of others, the danger of pain from their recrimination, or worse yet their rejection. Now I write my thousandth poem, hundredth story, and twentieth screed. I hand it to my mind to publish, knowing it will only hit SAVE... and let it rot in some folder forever.

Resolved and yet so very unresolved.
