''Send in the Clown"

I am introverted and guarded
I wonder if all people have agendas
I hear the faint call of  a God I once knew
I see my sanctuary in the mountains
I want  peace of mind and heart
I am introverted and guarded

I pretend that I am always in control
I feel the warmth of unconditional love
I touch the reality that it doesn't exist
I worry that I won't succeed in life
I cry when people use me and hurt me
I am introverted and guarded

I understand that I must love myself first
I say somewhere within me has to be joy
I dream of waking and enjoying a new day
I try working through clouds of despair
I hope that I will move to a happier existence
I am introverted and guarded.




"You can't reason with your heart; it has it's own laws and thumps about things which the intellect scorns."

SF - I guess if I said I loved your kitty, you'd see right through me, eh?  lol - this is a neat poem - I like the way you hung in there on the theme, and kept reinforcing the source of all your reasoning.
