I have so many hang-ups;
I never lived in the present.
All my insecurities
kept me in a spiral
where I was there in body
but my mind was somewhere else.
Past hurts clouded relationships
and magnified current treatment.
The voice in my head
is sometimes louder
than the ones of
those who love me.
I got to the point
that I couldn't keep letting
the pain inside
close me off from the world.
I needed to open up
like a flower and blossom.
You pushed through the pain,
and this chasm between us
has finally been shut.
My confidence is back
and my grievances
and bitterness faded away.
