many years ago
it was easy
life seemed fun
writing poems was easy
now many years passed
i am self-conscious
of each word i write
i wonder if the reader
will understand
what i am writing
i once did not have these worries
i wrote how i felt
and now i am slow
about sharing my thoughts
The Broken and The Holy 
I actually understand what you are trying to convey Good job!
