Through It All

Frightened; scared; worrisome, that's how I am.. Not that I am so ****ed up or too bad.. Rather I am caring so much... Or maybe I have experienced too much.. I built up walls to protect myself... I restricted myself to rules and regulations.. I defined and structured ways to be in control.. I followed a pattern to avoid dominion... Maybe because of how I have grew up.. Maybe because of how the persons treated me.. Maybe because of how situations challenge me.. Maybe because of actual experience.. True, I am almost exactly like that.. Few have taken the time and effort to discover me.. That.. Behind those smiles are hidden pains to burst.. Behind those silence are quiet tears waiting to break.. Behind those hugs are yearnings of affection. Behind those compositions are me: myself... Yet, I have always been hopeful... Always holding on... Not that of pretentions. Nor to give good impression.. Rather, It is because of that burning faith.. It is because of that selfless love... Didn't I laugh hard until I'm teary eyed.. Didn't I sing so much until my voice hoarse.. Didn't I eat so much that I burp.. Didn't I given so much that I'm remembered... Didn't I still love so much that I don't expect any returns.. I lie to protect people I love.. I break rules to get closer to what I want.. I work hard to attain my dreams... I try to be the happy me to me others happy.. I am living my life the way I know right.. I made mistakes and even failed.. but, I rejoice to acknowledge these didn't stop me.. These didn't lead me to quit.. I rise up.. I stood up.. I am still here.. God, helped me through it all.. by: olive_eloi 02/10/2013 1:37pm -------+-----**
