Reflective (overly so?)

I have fallen into a pattern of writing very personal poems, and then deciding that I shouldn't share them with you. It feels like it's a shame, because if I wasn't doing challenges for this blog then I probably wouldn't write anything at all, and now I find myself shying away from putting my creations on the very platform that prompted them in the first place. Maybe I'm writing these ones from a different, deeper place and I'm not ready to put them online for the world to see. Or maybe they're just not very good, and there's a subconscious self-protection thing that is stopping me from exposing myself to the possibility of being laughed at (although lack of quality has never stopped me letting you see my stuff before...)
Anyway, I shall keep writing them, and keep saving them, and I'll see if I have a shift in attitude enough to get the confidence to reveal them publicly, and if I do - well I have a good store of them that can use up quite a few days of blog postings sometime in the future!
