Confronting my Childhood Pain

More about Confronting my Childhood Pain

New revelations cause deep reflection. I dive deep and uncover the patterns that cause me to be who I am. I have never understood my place as I do right now.

My clarity in purpose and life has never been more clear. I can't have anyone deny my rise. I rise a phoenix for 1 I hold dear.

Many would place me on a shelf, thinking I need protection, they confuse insight, and sensitivity. Endlessly think kindness, and weakness are the same. Many think they need to protect me.

As my world grows some wish to steak a claim on my life as if their territory is shrinking.

It is all in your head. If you think I will climb back into that narrow minded cage, I have nothing but condolences to offer you in return.

You may have thought I would remain willing to explain myself, over, and over. As if I need to reassert my willingness to listen. Only to reassert your concern as if we never discussed this issue just before.

If you refuse to grow with me, I can only offer you a bow.

I hold no grudges, if you wish to be in a friend, I wish the same. You can make me out to be who you please, you can tell yourself what you will. If I am your bad guy, so it is. I can't be coerced, repetition does nothing to change my mind.

If you impose your thoughts on my actions I can't explain them, they are a figment of your imagination. If you wish to talk without accusations I am game.

I can't hold your hand through the dark, if you have made me to be the one to blame. It takes two to make a friendship, and one to make it fade.

Ignore me, explain to me what I said, as if I don't know. Control isn't friendship, if you ever come to realize this my door is never closed.
