Maybe I should write about things that scare me
Isn’t that what makes great poetry
Don’t words sound better forced from clenched throats
As shaky whispers and stifled notes
When a poet can’t hear their own voice through the beat
Of their heart pumping quickly upon their sleeve
When they’re practically stripping with each word breathed
Until they’re standing naked for the world to see
Yeah maybe I should write about things that scare me

Yes, do this! Keep writing about things that scare you. I have enjoyed checking out your blog this morning. I really like your writing!
