I don't know if we understand,
that no matter how anonymous we are now,
the shawl of mystery will be lifted.
And an unflattering light will wash over us,
flattering only the truly beautiful.
We will then all know where the hopeful,
and the hopeless,
words originated from.
All hearts will be exposed;
will we like what we see?
Will you like what you see in me?
In the end,
would it have been better to have never shared?
Once we open up,
once people see,
our hearts can never be unseen.
You can't unread what you have read.
Once something is read.
It has been thrust into the universe.
No matter how many words you use to try and take it way.
Words only ever add and never subtract.

this scares the crap out of me but it's whatever.
ReplyDeletegood post.
Okay, wait. I love this. From the opening sentence. You're writing about THIS. This whole thing that we're all doing. We're all blogging and being anonymous and looking for approval (even though we act like we're not). This is a great example of KNOWING YOUR AUDIENCE. You're writing about something your readers care about. That's half the battle.
ReplyDeleteKeep doing it.
