I live in a shell,
protecting from harm.

Withdraw,
shell of steel.

So scared,
yet wanting so to be loved.

Such a contradiction,
turmoil constant.

Fears,
Nightmares.

Abandonded,
yet still yearning.

Get so lost,
don't know which way is up.

So much trauma,
so much fear.

Insecure,
self esteam so little.

Logic says,
I am okay.

Fear says,
you don't love me.

Yet,
you asked me here.

Constant battle,
between mind and heart.

Just want reassurance,
just want peace.

Extremes,
one end to the other.

Don't know,
the in between.

Ask for guidance,
pray for peace of mind.

Will fears go away,
and be replaced by serenity?

Be patient,
My Love.

Understand,
the damage.

Heart so full,
want to give it all to you.

Just don't give up,
don't loose interest.

You are,
my journey to love.

Shell cracking,
pieces falling to the ground.

Being replaced,
with soft silky tissue.

Very intense write, with a great conclusion, dear Ladylisa.

When we succeed in not letting fear overcome we are healed, but we all know it is not so easy as it sounds.

Love,
Margherita

I am glad that there was a strong definite ending to this as it made me want to go back and read it again.
A thouughtful and well written piece.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Full of impact and the style added to the strength of the emotions and thoughts racing through the entire read. I could almost feel each line as I read it. Nicely done.
