Almost... I almost lost my head... Discovering with my heart I almost lost my mind.. When love inevitably departs I almost lost my eyes.. blinded by reckless faith I almost lost my ears... Listening to empty phrase I almost lost my touch... Reaching for what wasn't mine And I almost lost my soul.. Existing for you and not I Sheila 11-03-00 |

Wow. This is the first poem of yours I've read and I must say I am very impressed!!!!  Don't wander throught this glassy surface, expecting to find more than me, because what I am without a purpose, but a lone mirage to see. |

WOW...I almost missed this one too..very well written...this existing for others, can make one lose oneself...I now realize that and am trying to find myself again...I really did like the message in this, Sheila. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Thank you, all, for responding..and Wynter..it's true...If you lose yourself living for someone else.. you have nothing left to offer anyone. Good luck with your search..as with mine, its just beginning  Sheila |

WOW!! Geesh this is so true , it hurts. I once almost lost it all for someone else. Then a good friend told me, to stop giving everything I had to ONE person. To spread myself out to others. Just incase that person leaves, ur world wont fall apart. So I simply learned from that mistake and here I am. You did a great job describing this! DkW No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry |

I loved this. It was great and very well thought of. GREAT JOB!  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
