Why are people so inclined to display false intentions
to love someone and hide it for fear of rejection
to love someone in itself is nothing to hide
vulnerability and shame are the consequences
no, not punishments, just a step from ideal
to look directly into their eyes as they stare
what a rush compared to aversion and gawk
putting your feelings on display is confidence
what a burden it lifts from your chest
as the outcome is placed in their hands
the worst scenario being one without change
to end up nowhere is the largest tragedy
but what tragedy is one with no regret?
