Honesty.. What If? A Freewrite

Honesty.. what if?

What if I were to write and tell you everything thats in my heart? Would you run from me? As fast and as far as humanly possible. Would you turn away from me as so many others have before at the depths of emotions contained within. Would you treat me differently or stay away from me? There's no answers to any of these questions.

Because I can't ever really truely be honest. Not in the small sense, in the small everyday minutes of life, I'm always honest. Its too easy to sense when I'm not. I'm a horrible liar. Everyone always knows.

But i mean that deep down abiding fear of being totally honest because you know the minute you do everyone will walk away from you. To expose a black heart to the light and let it even begin to heal into those putrid shades of pink. This is the honesty I'm refering to.

The deep loves, and hates and fears. The things that are so deeprooted from childhood and being a teenager. The fear of being abandoned or of being alone for the rest of your life. Not the "oh i dont have a girlfriend" being alone. Yet being utterly and completely alone without anyone else in the world. It can happen. I've seen it first hand. The old folks in the homes with nobody there but a nurse at the end of their lives when the last breath is taken.

The love that overwhelms and basically kills you inside because you cannot share it in a way that other people understand. It becomes a driving need. It pushes people away. The fears of the dark. Of the things that could get you while you are alone. Stupid childish fears that were never taken into account and taken care of. The fear of losing a sense of touch, or sight. Two things I wouldn't ever want to live with out.

Honesty? You can't handle it. Its out there now however and what you do with it is your choice. Love me or leave me. I'm done trying.

Please tell me what you think

    i have always believed, that, if anyone truly knew me, they would run off screaming into the woods…that has helped me guard my deepest secrets, the essence of how i see myself. Unfortunately, this came true several years ago as i was entering psychotherapy, i revealed too much to my wife and she very nearly divorced me as i explained who i was, what i was working on with my therapist, i shared it too soon, big mistake – so i really do know what you are saying in this exploration you’ve penned here…there feels like no one else on the planet could ever love or accept who you are…truth is, there are….just not ones that are in your life yet . . .that’s the key word YET, dear heart, do not give up hope that you will find others who will love you for who you are. Its taken four years of working with a counselor to see that, i hope you will find that one day, one day soon. Blessings and best wishes, ~richard
