PAD Day 8 - Dare

I dare myself to try new things

     To act
     To write
     To exercise
     To say I love you
Most times it works and I
     Take a class
     Join a group
     Make new friends
But I always end up hurting you.
I love you.
It’s so easy to write, and it is true
But I feel as if my throat is closed off when I try to speak the words.
Once said, you will hold all the power
And I will lose me, who I am, my essence.
I need to dare myself to be who I am
Even as a part of you.
