Do I Even Dare To Dream

I’ve been alone for a long time
But honestly, I’m not lonely

I’ve always been independent 
And I’ve been content with that 

But it doesn’t seem like enough anymore 
My heart keeps searching for something 

I had completely shut the door on love
Having been broken beyond repair 

Yet my heart yearns to start beating again 
To connect to something once more

It’s searching for the missing pieces
But I don’t know where to look

It’s scary to take the first step 
With all the destruction in my wake

How do you learn to breathe again 
When you feel like you’re suffocating 

How do you learn to dance again
When the music was stripped from your soul

Do I even dare to dream 
That I can be whole once more

Curtis Moorman Date: 11/28/2018 10:36:00 AM As a counselor, I tell people from all walks of life, "a problem shared, is half repaired". So, your sharing has a sort of cleansing effect for you. I see in you a person filled with yearning for love but with a strong fear of rejection and hurt. Just as Lyric Man indicated, you must have confidence in yourself. Build your self confidence to a higher level and you will find that people will see the inward beauty of you as well as the outward beauty that I, and others, see. Login to Reply

Lyric Man Date: 7/10/2018 6:52:00 AM Where do you look for love? Look inside before you ever look around. Invest in you. Truly fall in love with your spirit. Like attracts like. The higher you go the better guys on that same plane will be attracted to you. Too many look for love out of their neediness and so they attract needy, selfish individuals. Be full, complete, happy.. and most of all have a unquenchable quest to grow! Login to Reply Lorna Safronick Date: 7/10/2018 7:11:00 PM Just so you know, I’m not all doom and gloom. Every time I let the negativity out, I feel so much better about myself. It’s like a weight is lifted from me. Lorna Safronick Date: 7/10/2018 9:10:00 AM The thing is, I don’t look. I just let fate work. But I get what you’re saying. I’m in no rush to jump into the dating pool. Every time I write a new poem, I feel the pain and anger leave my body. Such an amazing outlet.
