If I write a story should it just be for me?

Stored on a harddrive for no one to see?

Called up and read by tapping some keys?

Just another hidden file is all it will be.

My friends said be brave I really should post.

There are plenty of sites willing to host.

Is my stuff good enough? Maybe? Almost?

It’s better I think I stay just a ghost.

I write for myself and the few friends I trust.

Sometimes they’re good but more often a bust.

Maybe not enough heat.. or not enough lust.

But my good stuff’s a secret.. that is a must.

Daylight is often my enemy.

Exposing myself for others to see.

The hardest thing that ever could be.

Is letting others see what’s inside of me.

Posting is for others whose stories are bold.

Erotic and sensual and made of pure gold.

Surely the best of fantasies told.

I should be so lucky to be cut of their mould.

Be as it may should I post or not.

Or let myself fade and be soon forgot.

Either way it doesn’t matter a lot.

There are so many others whose stories are sought.

And I read them all full of desire and fantasy.

Sharing themselves for all to see.

Pleading for more from the collective we.

While I shall remain just the ghost of me.
