Charles Bukowski "Bluebird."

Charles Bukowski led a hard life of emotional suffering stemming back to his childhood. In his early years he had more to express than it seemed people close to him, even his father, cared to hear. Yet despite a depressive upbringing, he was self-driven and pushed himself forward to share his feelings and let others know they are not alone in their personal suffering and private pain. In "Bluebird", Bukowski beautifully conveys the feeling of wanting to share personal feelings but wondering if it is safe to do so. What is in your heart wanting to get out? Is it safer to hold it in or more safe to let it out?
