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, sorrow, fear, and pain;
but also a spark of hope
that curbs your worries and allows for a smile.
Examine who you are inside!
If you feel you're missing something,
you owe it to yourself to take a closer look.
Hope and disappointment, like the layers of an onion,
share the same power to bring tears to your eyes.
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 is so precious that it awes you with its beauty,
while at the same time, it scares you with its fragility.
