Who You Are Inside
Loneliness, insecurity, and the weight of reality
threaten to break your naive heart.
And you struggle with feelings
of helplessness and uncertainty.
Your heart harbors hurt, fear, and pain;
but also a spark of hope
that calms your worries and allows a smile.
Examine who you are inside!
And if you feel you're missing out on something
try taking a deeper, closer look.
Hope and disappointment, like the layers of an onion,
have the same power to bring tears to your eyes.
So, gather up all the loving moments in your life,
and reacquaint yourself with those feelings of love.
Enduring years of heartache, you're frightened;
for it takes a brave heart to confront rejection,
and a determined soul to endure it.
You are unique!
Yet doubt festers in the darkest recesses of your mind;
where fear so often dwells.
And love feels so precious that it awes you with its beauty,
while at the same time, it scares you with its fragility.
