Just Click Send
I read and reread.
Ten times, maybe more.
Anxiety level, up, up, up.
Finger hovers over arrow
and then retracts.
Do I have what it takes
to send this text?
Perhaps it exposes
an uncomfortable level
of vulnerability.
Do I really want to share
a magnified reflection
of my heart?
Each beat it beats.
Each scar it holds.
I read again.
Finger taps on arrow.
Then close my eyes.
Breathe in.
In life, sometimes
you just have to
click on Send.
About this poem
This poem is about the feeling we get when finally get the courage to communicate something that needs to be said. Being not brave enough yet to speak it in a call, we choose to send a text. In the final moments before sending, we question ourselves whether we should just delete it because it exposes deep feelings and our vulnerability.
