you know the saying,
dance as if no one is looking?

this is my
approach to writing.

if i stopped
and considered anyone
reading my words
i would be paralyzed
with self doubt.

humans prefer to
pick scabs
expose themselves
in a private setting
it is why bathrooms
have doors.

i live life performing
the emperor’s new clothes
in reverse
well aware i am
fully emotionally nude
knowing no one
will ever see me.
