The short time I have been on this site has taught me so very much. I also do feel all of your pain and wish to the heavens it would disappear for all of you. Tal said something incredible yesterday (when doesn't he :), that just really struck me. It was about knowing who you truly are. So, it inspired me to write some words down that I wanted to share with all of you. Hope you don't mind. I truly send it from the heart, in hopes that it helps you. I actually traveled this very road and married the most incredible man ( especially when he is asleep ;) just kiddn), oh Allheart of course still has aches and pains, and is always a work in process, and that is why I am so grateful to all of you and not only want to hopefully remove your pain, but I also want to give back. In addition to Tal, many of you helped in inspiring these words, but if I start listing you and forget someone, I would feel terrible. It would be incredibly wrong of me not to mention Val as well, but there are others and I thank you so very much.

Bless each of you. Allheart.

The One True Me

My heart has been broken and is in need of repair
Was left standing alone as though they never cared
How is that possible and why did they leave?
What was it about me, was I deceived?
Was I wrong to trust and so easily believe?
Will I ever be the same, and will I ever heal?
How can I go on to be free to trust and love once again?
So many questions that go on without end
Everyone around me says you need to move on
Don't call them, don't write them, in your thoughts they do not belong
So easily said, and yet, not so easily done
Step inside me, if you will and actually feel the pain in my heart
Now you tell me how to mend what has been torn apart
My tears are so real and my love is so strong
How is it possible that I was so wrong?
The advice you give, I know you mean well
But what I am going through feels like a living hell
I will do my best to try and apply what I hope to be right
But why does it feel as though I am loosing the fight?
The only thing that saves me and the only thing that gets me through
Is this little voice inside me, and something I always knew
That I need to get stronger and not hide from the pain,
To open my eyes, and reveal who I am, without any shame
For why should I deny the world what I hold so precious inside
The person I am, who I know to be, the one the actual true me
I want to live again and be free
To appreciate all the beauty in life there is to see
So yes, I will heal and once again I will find
A love that is true and even better this time
I will have no doubts or fears you see
Because I will find, from deep inside, the one true me
I will not need someone's love to show me the way
I will find it on my own so that there will be a day
That I meet that someone special, who may have traveled this same painful road
Who has healed just the same, and no longer carries that heavy load
What a happy day that will be when the two of us do meet
Our hearts will be strong and individually we will be complete
A brighter tomorrow will be ours to share
For it is in knowing who we are that will take us there.
So this journey I will travel as painful as it may be
But I now realize, I am not alone, and never will be,
As right by my side, who I found along the way, is indeed a very special person , the one, the only, true me.

Absolutely touching poem Allheart..

Really like it, written straight from the heart with incredible expression.

I would rate you but I can't rate a question.. :)

I agree a very touching poem :)

Very well written and with lots of meaning too.

I love it Allheart! I could find so many of the same things I have felt and said to myself...
I love that I could relate to it so much!

Thank you very much for sharing

Ahhhhhhh,

Just found ou how to rate a question.. :o

Thanks s2tp :)

Allheart I think that was beautiful, and reflects exactly what we have been trying to say here.

Thank you all so very much for your kind words in return. I cherish them. So very kind of each of you.

Tal, thank you. That is why I just had to give credit where credit is do, the inspiration and thoughts behind the words, came from right here on this site, from what I learned, in such a short time, from all of you. So I again thank you.

Bottom line love yourself enough and know yourself enough to realize that you all are so very special and have so much to offer. What great joy you will realize, when someone can clearly see, value and appreciate you for who you truly are and holds you near and dear to them, as you so deserve to be.

Very inspired and inspiring poetry Lady Allheart! Thank you xoxo

Isn't it funny when all the One True Me's meet, they recognise each other on the road. There is life and then there is the journey and they don't always take you in the same direction or to the places you expected. It takes knowing what's real, and I should ever forget, its knowing who to ask who also knows what's real until I can know again.

(A GREAT BIG SMILE HERE)

I am so glad you are here.

truly AMAZING Allheart... that is one of the most touching and beautifully written expressions of the inner human that I have ever seen. God knows we can all relate to some, if not ALL of that.

(clap clap clap) this me is giving you a standing ovation with a little tear...

I wish I could write poems like that.

Geoff, S2Tp, NWSflash,Tal, Val, MeeDee & Chuff,

Thank you so much!

Incredible words put it in a form so we can understand and feel the difference between walking the path rather than just knowing the path (with the excuses from Matrix movie writters LOL).
So thankful with you Allheart for sharing such a nice piece of work

"Allheart agrees: Merry Christmas Chuff :)"

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you... and with that reputation spread I, Chuff, have broken into triple digits and received my second green box!!
