Feelings equal Confusion.

Loss over what is gone
that never will return.
Relief that the past’s done,
mindful of lessons learned.
Happy at being free
to be myself again.
Impatience, not knowing
just what will happen, when.
Anticipation of
a love strong and steady.
Hesitate to protect
what we have already.
Longing to understand,
know what could really be.
Wonder at these feelings
now taking over me.

Having spent three years of my life overexerting myself to attain one person's love, I relate all too well to this. I take a stance of trying to let go, continuing with my life that is so deserving of what I want (please don't take that as being self-centered, just accepting and understanding myself). How long do we tread in the plains of hoping? Yet how do we finally actually let go? This was an incredible piece that many will relate to for burdenly different reasons. Thanks for reminding me of me!

Purity, I have tried for 23 years to do the same, and not suceeded. Seems to me it is time to let go and move on. Although I am afraid of what is ahead, I have friends around to support me and share it with. If I have their love and can love myself I will be fine.
Thank you for your thoughts on this.

Dee, if you spent 23 years doing what you do best, do not let backlashes cause you to change at this point. Stay true, and steadfast. This sounds idiotic..but you managed 23 years, and seem to be a better than most person as a result. There will come a day....I promise. Use your hurt and frustration as a means to vent (and write some awesome poetry!!), but stay true to what you've always known to be right!
You will win in the end...once again, promise.
