Written at a time when I felt like I needed a friend.
I was nervous about the future, but knew I had to face it head on
I was scared I felt like I was going to be judged for the things I didn’t know
Letting my past get in the way of my future, but not knowing how to get past it
Trying to shake it the best I could, but knowing that I needed to be kind to myself
Through this healing journey I have found it easier to offer help than receive it
Through the pain my default is to try to hide and retreat back into the darkness
Being careful who you offer to be in your inner circle, but do know it is can grow
Try hard to be real, and tell people how you feel and see if they accept you
If they do, they can offer support when you need it most
If they trigger your past, and won’t let you move on then you don’t need them
If you have to be someone else around them, I will choose not to waste my time
On this journey, I will offer you my ear
When you offer love to someone, do you expect something in return
When you offer to help someone, is it so you can put it in your bank
When you try to tell the truth, do they make you feel bad
When you share your story; they try to say been through something worse
