If you keep acting like this no one will know that you were a great artist/poet. Unless your friends decide to post your artwork and poetry online after you die and you become engraved in history, like Emily Dickinson. I suggests that you just go on deviantart and post what you got. If people like it then give them more. If anyone steals your work then sue the person and make a profit. I don't believe that you have much to worry about. The only concern that you should have is criticism, but you'll never know if you have good artwork if you don't let others evaluate it.
I once had a deviant art, but there isn't a license system, so I'm getting flickr.
You are very kind and very insightful... I've haven't even shared my work with friends really. I really want to do these things before the year is up... I don't really know what kind of licensing I should get though... Also, the main problem is that most of my family can't know that I'm doing this.
Why can't your family know about your artwork? They would probably be proud of you if they knew that you were an artist/poet.
Also, you mentioned in another comment that your friends are very supportive so I think that maybe you should show them your work. I think they would love it.
Most of my family is strongly against networking and knowing people online.
Knowing them, they might try to get rid of my profiles or worse, that is if they knew. My family is very negative and religious. Anything, that has nothing to do is god is considered "evil".
I'd love to share my work with everyone including the users on here:)
Honestly your family sounds pretty strict. Do you have your own computer? If so you could make sure that only you use the comp. and update your website with your artwork.
I don't think that you should brag about your artwork around your family. However, you could set up an account on some art website and share the link here, like in the form of a poll. Make a poll that includes links to your artwork and just see if people like it. I think that a lot of people would love to see your artwork, including myself.
Is it normal, that I'm scared to share my art?

Hey Avant- Garde. How's life?
Why can't your family know about your artwork? They would probably be proud of you if they knew that you were an artist/poet.
Also, you mentioned in another comment that your friends are very supportive so I think that maybe you should show them your work. I think they would love it.
