Welcome To My World
How do you heal wounds when they have penetrated you so much that they are beyond
the depths of your soul? Hurt that you have buried so deep that it hurts, and makes it so
you cannot breathe? Living with secrets that will destroy so many lives, hearts, families,
dreams, hopes and aspirations; how do you prepare yourself for something so surreal?
You trust but not so deep, you love but barely, you live but don’t have life? Your barriers
are broken down, your clean but feel dirty, yet pure of heart. What can one do to prevail
but still live life’s crucial reality, and still don’t let it affect your everyday life and
perceptions of others around you.
You dare to dream and finally live for yourself and not others and seek a happiness that
you have not known in years, but still fear one being that is present, and that surrounds
them in your life in an instant. They feel what they have done in the dark comes back in
the light but living a tormenting life of illness.
You’re physically well, yet emotionally sick, strong willed and determined and still
weak, rich yet still poor? Happy yet still saddened by things constantly around you.
How can you consciously help others when you still cannot help yourself?
