Live and Learn I guess



This post to say the least at the most,
To portray the moment being in the west coast,
Awakened by a sound other than a girlfriend,
Still glad to know there's someone to say hello again,
I don't do well being alone without my distractions,
Because my mind can be unkind sometimes being self-critical and attempting being more self-consious,
Wanting to be open and honest yet afraid with what the person's gonna do with when I try to be open,
I suppose that's part of life to live and learn and be less gullible,
Now I know don't be so open about weaknesses to other's that may use that as delicacy to their own ego to push for another's downfall.
