Looking, looking, looking


at this thing I call "life"

frightened at every corner
waiting for the pain to strike

confidence, hopes and dreams
....gone

alone on the
proverbial shore

anyway

i'm alone
again

only this time

i'm taking others with me

  2. Thank you Sheri. By taking others w/me I mean that so often I hold my own life and feelings in restraint b/c I'm so worried about how others may feel. I am learing that sometimes it is okay to say "no" and let others deal with the consequences of their own behavior. Or even to confront others on their negative/dysfunctional behavior. It always feels good to have an ally and I know I can rely on you!!! Thanks for being who you are!
