A hint of reality

I become immensely envious of people who can just be.

Actually, let me think before I publish this to the world-

Is there anyone who can be sure of themselves always?

It's truly amazing to be able to love yourself though.

On a good day like this one, it all sinks in.

Our fears, embarrassments and entrapping situations;

All of these exist only in our heads.

Do they really care about how strange/not you are? No.

Is anyone genuinely interested in seeing you hurt? No.

Can anybody better your thoughts for you? No.

Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Yes.

I've been amiss for a long while;

But I'm glad I'm gaining my foothold.

It took me time and support; which I'm grateful I had.

It feels good to write, to motivate, to focus, to affirm;

I need my daily dose of thinking good thoughts again!

Do I feel like I'm telling you more than you should know?

Yes, oh yes! Umm hmm. (shaking head side to side)

But as someone very wise said to me, "I'm human first."

So, I'm going to make sure I respect my every emotion.

I'll acknowledge my doubts and stumbling phases;

Yet, I'll rise high, achieving every dream I've dreamt.

I've realized that for success to come, I need to be me.

TheBlogWriter8 has been too worldly-wise, too sharp;

She might have a lot of my traits, but she isn't me.

To think that she'll win my battles for me is deception.

I struggle, I fear, I cringe, I hide, I fall;

But I also try, I pray, I preach, I open-up, I climb.

My truth might not seem as promising as her facade,

But I'll invite you to walk with me to the top;

I have faith that persistence will surely get us there.

In the past few weeks, I've slipped downhill;

But I've also felt a strong urge to work on myself again.

Work, I will- it's easier when you've been there before;

Not because you know the path- oh no,

It's simpler because you know where you're headed.

Thank you for reading me and bringing me happiness;

It's been a good association and I aim to make it better!
