Learning to talk openly (VIPete)

<br><br>

LEARNING TO TALK OPENLY.<br />
<br />
Somehow I feel that it was weird.<br />
To talk about those things I feared.<br />
Like stepping into the unknown,<br />
And feeling like you&rsquo;re all alone.<br />
<br />
I tell you this and furthermore.<br />
I&rsquo;ve never been like this before.<br />
I was confident and hence.<br />
These feelings do not make much sense.<br />
<br />
Never, since my time of birth.<br />
I&rsquo;ve ever questioned my self-worth.<br />
Yet I must face the evidence.<br />
That I have lost self-confidence.<br />
<br />
I ask myself the reason why.<br />
And start to question -who am I ?<br />
My circumstances seem so new.<br />
I don&rsquo;t appear to have a clue.<br />
<br />
I now feel guilty all the time.<br />
Within this strange new paradigm.<br />
And as my friends still stand by me.<br />
I marvel at their loyalty.<br />
<br />
As my feelings are expressed.<br />
I realise that I&rsquo;m depressed.<br />
I&rsquo;ve never been like this before.<br />
And so I&rsquo;m feeling quite unsure.<br />
<br />
But as I start to write this down.<br />
The process seems to lift my frown.<br />
It&rsquo;s cathartic, so I&rsquo;ve heard.<br />
You can feel better with each word.<br />
<br />
But now I think it would be nice.<br />
If I could get some good advice.<br />
And I guess that all of you.<br />
Know just what I&rsquo;m going through.<br />
