Perseverance

December 2, 2020

I hate that I love so deeply.

I hate that I care so passionately.

I hate that I dream so large , I always get let down.

I hate that I can’t speak how I truly feel.

I’ve been so versed in living to be someone I wasn’t.

I’m Scared to fall in love.

I’m scared to love alone.

I’m scared too let my life pass me by.

I’m scared to settle in a life I never asked to live.

I’m scared to explore life for its passionate side.

I’m scared of being left alone ,

I guess the abandonment and neglect catches up to your emotions.

It changes how you view love, comfort , sex, and people.

To be alone is to learn how to see out of the eyes of purity and truth.

Being alone teachs you to watch people and see their intent.

All their strengths, hurt, sadness, loneliness, love , trauma , etc.

It makes you question the good and bad in everything and everyone.

How do you fall in love when you protect your self by remaining in the storm you whether.

Take me away and consume me in the risk of the unknown.

So much capacity to make dreams come true.

Such little guidance to show me how.

It’s all for one and one for all in the end.

Now i save my self.
