Do not Hurt Me

Do not Hurt Me

A Poem by Mike Defreitas
"

Fear of being hurt

"
If there is good in this world, which I believe there is
I must trust you.
Inwardly, I fear. I am opening myself up
To both good and bad.
If you see weakness in me, please do not judge
Pause, mindfully, and know that I am injured.
Can I trust your goodness? 
I want to.
I want to trust that friends exist
People who stand by you
And care for you
Because they care that you be strong
That you live happily
Can you ignore my anxiety
And see it as a passing flare-up?
Can you encourage me, and stay by me?
Help me when my voice is weak? 
I see that human beings are truly
Brothers and Sisters
Inside each of us lies an awareness
A spirit - a looker who is confronted 
with the same existential facts
See this person. 
And you will see your very self
