I love to write a poem especially when I'm depress or happy coz its the only way I can express what I feel. But I'm ashamed to publish it or let any body read it (even my closest friends). Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Let me hear your side....

I can sense that you have the talent and the feeling to be a successful and gifted poet. I think you should publish the poems you write and let the world see. As you continue on, you will gain the confidence, because you will see that everybody will be praising your qualities. Best wishes to you !

hmmmm, now i know that you have poems hidden in your closet hehehehe. why you have to hide it? That is a very rare talent you got. You shouldnt be ashamed of it. But if contains some confessions on how you feel, like for example the hidden desire/feelings to someone (say regan-- just kidding):D or that you hated some of your friends then Try to use names that no one can relate it to you and sign up to some websites where you can post/publish your poems. you can even earn from it.

should you wish to remain anonymous to all of your writings and poems, then come up with a pseudonym or a pen name. in this way, you'll have no apprehensions of having your work be associated to the real you.

Well, I know that a lot of writers don't like it when family members read their work. I would use a pen name to have my stuff published. you shouldn't be ashamed, there's nothing wrong with trying to express or show your talents as a writer.
