another couldn't fix myself

and i would beg to be helped.

i'd cry out,

"why is nobody helping me?"

but they were.

i was not helping myself.

every time help would come by,

i would scare them off

or i would reject their advice.

i was unfixable to others,

but unbeknownst to myself,

i was the only remedy.

inevitably, the time will pass;

my days will always end and they will also begin.

i used to spend my time wallowing,

until i realised,

only i can fix myself.

There is a classic but i like joke called "parable of the drowning man"

A storm descends on a small town, and the downpour soon turns into a flood. As the waters rise, the local preacher kneels in prayer on the church porch, surrounded by water. By and by, one of the townsfolk comes up the street in a canoe.

"Better get in, Preacher. The waters are rising fast."

"No," says the preacher. "I have faith in the Lord. He will save me."

Still the waters rise. Now the preacher is up on the balcony, wringing his hands in support, when another guy zips up in a motorboat.

"Come on, Preacher. We need to get you out of here. The levee's gonna break any minute."

Once again, the preacher is unmoved. "I shall remain. The Lord will see me through."

After a while the levee breaks, and the flood rushes over the church until only the steeple remains above water. The preacher is up there, clinging to the cross, when a helicopter descends out of the clouds, and a state trooper calls down to him through a megaphone.

"Grab the ladder, Preacher. This is your last chance."

Once again, the preacher insists that the Lord will deliver him.

And, predictably, he drowns.

A pious man, the preacher goes to heaven. After a while he gets an interview with God, and he asks the Almighty, "Lord, I had unwavering faith in you. Why didn't you deliver me from that flood?"

God shakes his head. "What did you want from me? I sent you two boats and a helicopter."

this one is like that too. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped, people may not be able to overcome the walls you don't realize you've built.People may be there to help you, but you may have sought help in another form. They may not have been able to help you because they cannot read your mind.

but I understand you and I am always here for you if you want to talk. YOUR AWARENESS AND SELF-EXPRESSION IS VERY ADMIRABLE. I love that you write about everything

These words speak of a journey that has felt pain but is optimistic. A journey that has just begun but has young wisdom of beautiful days ahead, My journey has been long and patience has paid off for me, I wish you the same.

i definitely like to think of myself as a glass half full kind of person -at least for the majority of the time. spending time wallowing wont fix me, but it does create good poetry LOL.

patience is a gift, thats for sure, and to hear that it has paid off is excellent. thank you for your kind words and your wishes :3
