Unspoken secrets lie,
To what the truth reveals.
Privacy is a blessing,
But does it truely heal?
Subconcious minds hide,
From what the heart warns.
Running in circles,
From what we scorn.
Hearts made of cold stone,
Burning with emotions fuel,
Sailing slowly through time,
Passing the needed docks appearing cruel.
How do we let down the anchor,
We cannot find?
Where is the acceptance,
We long for in our mind?

What don't kill you can only make you stronger...

Like I told you through Yahoo Pager..I love this one. There is nothing about it I would change. That acceptance we're always searching for...I can definitely relate.

I love the use of marine references in the last little section. The thought of a ship sailing through troubled seas and not being accepted at various ports brings a good analogy with this.

Keep it up, chica. *hugs*

I liked the ending of this one Jess. Well done here.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
