I let myself down.
Hard to please, easily deceived.
I kept everything within.
Innocently, I failed to see what was in front of me.
Thought I was strong,
Thought I was smart.
But more naive, I couldn't have been.
I deny reality,
chose to live a fantasy.
I let myself down.
Thought I was proud,
but swallowed my pride.
Put my head down,
and continue to love you.
And this love became a monster that ate me inside.
I don't blame you,
I blame myself for loving you this way.
At least now,
Ther's no more pain.
I'll learn to live without you,
and with my new self.

across the land of dreams. In your heart, I'd always be.

I let myself down......

You just have to go through all stages Walker, can't be helped, because you are such a sensitive person (thank Heaven you are).

Love to see the way you pull through. You are you know.

Walker,
Don't ever let yourself down.  Always trust your instincts.

You were true to yourself in the end, my friend, and that is all that matters.  Don't ever let anyone tell you differently.  You'll be just fine.  ((hug))

Take heart there is
a "New Self" upon
which to bestow
yearnings lessons
you see and know

This poem captures so much, I can only express my compliments. To delve deeper would remind me I lack a new self. For some things there is no recovery.
