You wanna know me?
That would be hard
since I don't even
know myself.
I talk to much
but I never hear
what my heart has
to say.
I listen to my head
cause it keeps me
sane, and cut off
from all my emotions.
I hurt people
because I am so selfish
not with pride
but by being selfish kepping them out.
I want to be open
not only with
the ones I love
but also with myself.
I want to listen
to what my heart has to say
but I can never find the courage
to listen.
So who am I?
I don't know,
maybe you can tell me
what I can't see.

One step closer to YOU
This is what my contest is all about. Making you think about who you really are. When we write down honestly what we see in ourselves, we can read back and learn from that. IT tells us who we REALLY are and not what we sometimes perceive ourselves to be.
It is obvious that you have been hurt.
You have not had the courage to trust.
You WANT to trust but don't know how to.
Writing about it is a very good start. Letting people in is hard but sometimes until we challenge ourselves we cannot pass the barrier and step into freedom. Like skydiving. It scares you to death but once you have done it you cannot wait to do it again. The adrenalin rush is amazing.
Be confident in yourself. Trust YOU and then you will be able to handle others whatever they throw at you. Don't lose precious time on fear. Taking the chances life offers is your adrenalin rush. Take them and you will want more and more.
Hugs
Jan
