Note to Self

Grawr

You close your eyes,
afraid of what you'll see.
You have a smile for everyone,
but you can't fool me.

I can see through your armor,
the shield meant to keep everyone out.
I know I'd be able to help,
if only you'd let go of your doubt.

It's time to let the walls come down,
let each brick fall away.
It's okay to open your heart,
top being led astray.

Yeah, you'll probably be hurt,
it's just a fact of life.
But what's the point of living,
if you can only bear the strife?

There's so much more out there,
if only you'd let someone in.
Despite what you might believe,
being loved, is no sin.

Remember this,
because it's what's real.
Your scars are from the past,
it's time to let yourself heal.

Hmm I think everyone can relate to this one way or another. You did a great job writing from the heart and helping others to look at themselves and question if that's what they have been doing.

Good Job

Thank you.

Beautiful...(:

[Living Proof.]

I read this and thought of myself... it's beautiful and inspiring. Good Job (:

[Kgosi]

i like its simplicity,- it rather speaks directly to a heart that either is ellusive or deceptive. i relate to this peace because- for so long i've been told i'm a closed book.

i like it.

[light and ashes]

Wow great truth and wisdom in this poem, bravo.

[Kaitlyn Raiford]

It is very beautiful and deep, the feelings almost leap off the page and into my own heart. I thank you for sharing your words with me, and also the world.
