My inability to be vulnerable in my writing

is what will be my downfall.

My inability to extract my worry of others opinions

in my life,

but also in my writing,

is what will be my downfall. 

If I am unwilling to write my truths, 

my actual truths, 

and put them places

under my name and not 

a pen name

which felt exciting at the time but now feels cowardly

I will not succeed.
