History repeats

I will not give into defeat!

They laugh and stare

This time I do not glare...

My hope, my life

They do not cause me strife,

The mask is gone

Unlike the last time...

 

Girl comes to the rescue,

Helps me realize

That it doesn't matter if they despise–

Only one viewpoint matters

And why couldn't I see

I am who I am...

They should accept me!

 

History repeats–

Tears have been shed

Once again as I lay hopeless in my bed

Phone rings

No answer

I am without his help

No one else is here

Yet I'm not consumed by fear

 

I do not need him

Nor want him

in anyway besides a good friend

Without his help...

my world has not come to a sudden end

Strength has come

A friend I need

Who accepts me for me...

He is a friend like that

Thank god for him

 

To much did I rely on him

To much did I complain

Now he leaves me

To be on my own...

For that I have now grown!

I am myself, I am just me

Accept me or leave me be

 

Thank you for being there in the past

Listening to my gripping fears,

letting me shed my dripping tears

You helped me out,

Your hand on my head...

Not letting me stray

When I tried so hard to pull away

Thank you for that!

I wish you were here

without you here I grew

But I still will always miss you!

 

No masquerade near

Not consumed by fear

I am myself, now without the mask

I am here not there

Only few people care...

By myself I will strive

To no longer hide.

In Alamosa I will abide

For in my heart my few friends reside!!

 

I will forever be myself...

Never to hide

I can live in Alamosa without

a solid presence of him, her and her

My world is still going to twirl!

Only with my phone

will I be with them today...

Only with my memories

will I not forget and stray away–

Mind is a haze

But this will not

End my days!

 

My history repeated

As does most...

This time I am different

For I have now grown.

I am me, accept me!

If you don't

Leave me be

I am I, you are you...

There is nothing else to say or do!

[Nick Erickson]

Excellent piece, showing how growth and stepping out of your comfort zone shape who you are and challenge your views on life. The only way to go happily through life is without the mask, being who you are and not caring about what others think. Well written.

Powerful! Taking command of your destiny, putting the past dwellings in their proper catagories and places and not being afraid to step out in the world that is you!
This is an inspiring piece of great craftsmanship.

Thanks for sharing! x2

Well said! You need no one's opinion but your own. Stand on your own, in your own strength. Be proud of who you have chosen to be and allow no one to deter you from who you have chosen to become.
You ARE you, and no one walks in your shoes but you.

They should put this up in every counseling office there is!
It speaks of having great personal strength and the convictions to walk you own life in your own shoes!

I really liked this!
Great Work! :)
