Keep Away

Just stay away Keep your distance Remain far back Stop coming closer For as long as your distant You won't feel called to help You won't want to assist me And I won't fall into a trap again I don't want to push others off But they cannot come near I am protecting my feelings So I will never be hurt again

Jessica, You have written well a very important poem here. It shows what happens when life experiences go against inner beliefs. The result: pain seeks survival of soul. Saying no is important because you have worth. and that is a way to protect your soul. Sometimes it's important to think of you more than others. Especially if another’s wants will damage your soul and your self-esteem. Say no. Protect your soul. YOU WILL have joy in the long run. Ask God to help. Lovingly, Dane
