Don’t believe me
When I say I don’t need you
When I say it is safer to live here
Within my perfectly circumscribed orbit
Behind barriers of fear
That I disguise with illusions
Of how I am just too sensitive to pain
And feel everything
Maybe at times
Its nothing more
Than a kind of dark narcissism
For is it really true
That malevolent forces out there
Are out to destroy me
Or is it all about the degree of love we have
To bring to any situation
Most surely we don’t have to be naïve
For there are those
Who may still chose to hurt us so
But if we can only find the will
And self belief
So necessary
To not taking it personally
We will find so much more relief
From all of those demons in our head
That tell us it is not safe to shed
Our protective overcoat
For the force of love we feel from within
Is surely strong enough to over come
Most of everything
If we only have the strength to believe
In a present that is brighter
Than all of our darkest
Most fearful yesterdays
Yes, I am now starting to believe in today and tomorrow, as the sharp edges of yesterday begin to smooth out with the dawning of each new day. xx
