Sometimes I fear

to be seen as fake

in the real world out here

as trying too hard

when I am giving

when I am sharing

when I want to bring out a smile

and a compliment 

or a gift

I fear that it doesn't translate

from the deepness of my care

but from the wanting of something else

from wanting to take 

but it isn't

and sometimes, when I do bring

when I do share

I do so with so much fear

and then I see

the happiness behind

the smiles and the care

reflected back

and I breathe.
