is it wrong to hold it in my heart
this sadness
less defined now
giving way to feelings unknown
so convinced
a fool can sell his soul any day
the legacy you left behind
now cautiously meeting love
with such skepticism
trying to get out of my own way
because
sometimes being myself
just isn’t who i want to be
cover of the night
crying in the dark
but only when i allow myself
to think
i’m stronger now ©

I connected with this one daphne, recognizing myself in many of your phrases … “cautiously meeting love with such skepticism”, “trying to get out of my own way because sometimes being myself just isn’t who I want to be” (love this line!), and “only when I allow myself to think I’m stronger now”. Here’s hoping you find your center once again — although I am a strong believer in ‘the best way out is always through’.
Thank you! I love knowing someone can relate to something I
wrote. Sometimes I think being uncentered gives me a certain
sense of balance …
This is quite lovely, in a very somber sort of way. One can’t help but wonder – are you crying because you only think you’re stronger or you realizing in the end that you’re stronger than you think?
ahhh – that’s the question, isn’t it? I think every experience
makes us a bit stronger. Thanks for stopping by.
your sadness in this touches my soul and resonates. thanks for sharing.
hope you don’t mind but i have liked your stuff for a while and so just nominated you for the Spotlight Award; there’s a link on my page with the image if you want to post, and a link to your site here as well. Congrats!
If you feel inclined, I think tradition has it that you send the award to 3 fellow writers in turn.
Cheers,
Joanna
