The Battle

Contemplating if it's possible For someone to love me When I'm in a Relentless battle to love myself Always been a wild free spirit Full of dreams and purpose When did self-destruction become the target Insecurities along with hesitation Stole a part of who I was Whispers incessantly reminding Of past failures Somewhere in my time line I was broken Memories too painful to recollect were buried An uncontrollable craving For affection Every time someone got too close I became a ghost Many have attempted to heal my scars Though only I can find the cure I'm A Beautiful Disaster surrounded By internal chaos A secret turmoil hoping to find myself

I loved this poem, Sofia. Your imagery is beautiful. A Beautiful Disaster, eh. Nah, you're just beautiful. Hang in there, you already won me over, so there, you got one admirer. And the RW (Romantic Warrior) don't give love flippantly. Anywho ... I love you and is praying for you. Much love to you. RW

I am certain you are a beautiful person, Sofia, and deep down you are no disaster. Do not put yourself down. Love cannot be forced...it will arrive in due time. Failures are not things to be ashamed of, instead they can become a positive part of life's learning process. Keep on writing poetry...it can be an ideal healing tonic. Warm regards // paul
