I’d show you my soul,
open it up before you
and hold it to the light,
but I worry you’d laugh
shredding any self-confidence
that has snuck through
my long line of offenses
and survived.

I wouldn’t laugh. Unless it was purposefully funny and you were cool with me laughing. It would be with You. Never at You

Thank you. I found most of the people here on WordPress are extremely supportive. I can be shy about sharing my art though in real life.
