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

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.

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!

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.

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.
