Heart Bubble

I wear my heart on my sleeve. It's a trait I wish I didn't have. Being exposed--being out there--is a hard place to be. I feel like there's no protection for my feelings when they are out there and on display. Trust me, I've tried to hide them. I've tried to be stone faced and rigid and it doesn't work. When I'm happy, I look happy. When I'm sad, I'm going to burst out in tears wherever I'm standing. Sometimes I feel like a raw nerve standing out in the open. I want that to go away. I want to be protected.
