Split Mistake

 

Being split in two

keeps me from getting

caught in between.

Though the price I pay

is never feeling whole hearted.

Lessons are learned

with every stitch sewn.

The price of scar tissue

is it leaves me vulnerable

to bleeding from the past,

but the trail it would leave

would confirm my path forward

then fill someone else with life.

"Lessons are learned with every stitch sewn", isn't that the truth! Great write.

Thank you very much.

The beginning of this poem grabs my attention. I think you set the conditions of the thought very well.
Protective mechanisms have consequences too...
Now you return the favor of engaging the mind.

Like the Avatar! Great mustache. :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you very much.
Oh and I trimmed the mustache myself.

Dale, this poem screams at me. You have captured the feeling perfectly. You have penned emotions...in perfect order and stance...glowing on this page. This is so very well written my friend, I can feel the pain because I know the pain first hand. Wonderful write sir.

Well thank you, that makes me happy to hear.

[Ladysue]

being split in two is never easy and integration is even harder but those lessons we learn from our past bring us closer to the whole and ultimately as you say 'fill someone else with life' beautifully expressed Dale..

Not a great feeling to experience being torn. Lessons learned as they say come at a price for sure. Great write.

Could vulnerability be another word for courage? Boldness?
