I am Lavender, tied with string, hanging upside down
I am a Princess, with children, who has lost her crown

I am not clinically depressed (yet), just not so grand
I am just waiting for my soul to give my heart a hand

I have pushed all aside that I find joy and comfort in
I pray that when my heart is well they will return again

I've never felt so confused, alone and much less bold
It's times like this I truly miss having someone to hold

My parents are gravely ill, three siblings do have I
Not one has even shown a face...and I ask myself why

Although I'm very close, I just haven't found my center
I am trying so very hard to find it and to not be so bitter

I hope I find it before next fall or even next mid-winter
Excuse me Ladies and Gentlemen while I try to find my center


My question is:
Why, when we need comfort and support the most, do we push it away...as if it will change the inevitable? Or, is it that we don't want to be perceived as sensitive, fragile or perhaps even a human?

Could be either of those..could also be that we are afraid that when we get comfortable in that support..let ourselves rely on it a bit..that something will take it away and we fall on our face. So we stand alone..

Quoting BarbiQ:

This is a sentiment that I can definitely connect to. Like you, when trouble comes, I pull in to handle the trouble, because I found more often than not, I was the only person I knew would not let me down ever. And God. He is there, do you remember the footprints poem? You may not feel it, but He is carrying you right now, and won't leave. I am here for you too, if you need an ear to bend or whatever. Beautiful souls like yours need to stay here, where would we be without your light?

What a beautiful line of prose.
There is need, acceptance and still a belief in things coming out okay. I only wish I could tell the world my thoughts and feelings so eloquently.
Here for you when you need me.

FFT... that which is more than us just might be having you on a path to show you are more than those around you and the worth of a person, or a barbiQ in this case, is more than a bank balance or assets on a balance sheet.....
