Laid Bare

I have laid myself bare to the ravages of emotions and endangered myself to its hold on me
I see only distance between where I stand and safety – the path uncertain to get there
I focus on the false hope and full pain and can’t envision the potential for unimagined joy
So do you retreat to lessen the pain – play it safe and never move forward?

The Good and The Bad

You spend your time hoping and aching to find that partner in life you can lose yourself in. It can sometimes seem so far that you retreat within yourself and then out of the blue it may appear and you feel fear.

Fear of losing the control on your pent up emotions of closeness and desire and fear in that openess leaving you vulnerable.

Master the fear and remember it is better to battle that than stay behind your lines of defence and cower in the corner scared to look up and face the world and embrace its emotions.
