Love or Fear is a Choice

I will always wonder...
why are you so afraid of sharing your heart
of trusting someone with your secrets and fears
if you only knew, that is how to start
to overcome, and understand, and become aware
of course there is pain in the losses in life
death starts the moment we are born
with every pleasure comes some struggle and strife
there is always some reason to mourn
but we choose how we see and feel about everything
the pain is proof we are alive
that is the joy that can make our hearts sing
to live and not merely survive
life is a roller coaster ride
even if we hide it all inside
the full experience is the greatest gift of all
to those who open themselves wide

so why are you so afraid of sharing yourself
is it because you fear pain?
I wish you could see past the books on your shelf
the true knowledge is in your brain
past the fear, you are there, so aware, learn to share
the secret it knowing you can always start again
this amazing journey called life is a song
you truth is write your own refrain
you can write a fearful struggle or worse
a futile cycle of fear, guilt, and shame
or you can write a beautiful song
and see life as a wonderful game
and
it's not about winning or losing at all
it is about playing the game
peace and happiness is found by those who learn
to just enjoy playing the game

I wish I could give you this simple perspective and take away all fear and shame because I know you can do it for yourself... and never live in fear again.

I wish you would :)

A song for you, m precious little sister, and also for the world. If only everyone could see this and dare to do it, what a wonderful world it could be :)

Recognize me yet? ;)

The Writer On Beauty and Happiness

I once wanted to see myself as a writer, as a person gifted with a skill to put words together to say profound and wondrous things, to amaze readers with thoughts and emotions that would open their minds and free them from the shackles of fears that oppress us from without and from outside in this culture. What I have found in sharing personal letters is that most people personalize the thoughts and feeling in the words to a point where they either fall in love or become defensive, accepting the concepts and therein the person who they do not really know or rejecting them before ever knowing them. This is an attempt to reach beyond that superficial and over-personalized communication, an attempt to find your mind open, objective, and even eager to understand the concepts, thoughts, feelings, and playfulness in these words without judging the writer, without leaping to any assumptions or conclusions that you know me. For how can anyone truly know another without spending time lookin

This Is Me (An Illusion)

Hopeful? Or is it an illusion that a therapist would label as unhealthy with a classification and medication? I won't give up on love it's my obsession some dream of a god above my dream goes in another direction I don't want promises from someone I can't see I want to look in someone's eyes and know they see me I won't give up on hope it's my perfection as long as there is hope in me my dream lives in a state of reflection I don't want compromises from someone in sympathy I want to hold someone's hand and feel they feel me It's a story often told in fairy tales of old to children laced with laughter a happily ever after I believed it is true and still believe, I do As foolish as it may seem true love is my only dream I won't give up on life it's my affection sometimes it cuts like a knife my dream is without harmful complexion I don't want empowered fear in my reality I want someone to share everyt

I just want someone who cares about me to know that my leg is so hurting a lot, so much that I don’t know if I’ll sleep tonight, but we won the game and the ball that may have broken my leg bounced straight to the first baseman and ended up ending the firs inning with bases loaded and they didn't score which is good so I’m laughing, even though I can’t find a comfortable position and have no ice but just wanted somebody who cares to I know. I think I’m going to survive. Maybe even sleep a little later. Just wanted you to know. I hate stressing you out. But I just wanted someone who cares about me to know so I don't feel so alone. So thank you, love you, night night.
