Most of the information You were told Was nothing more then Insecurities that took hold Truth had no part in it, Just Stinking thinking That would make it fit When someone has been betrayed By base family in that way Trust issues arise all their life Disbelief in unconditional love, causes strife Scared all trough life to open up And show true self Wasn't caused by me but all the hell From Mother, Father,Siblings and such I never underestimated or denied All the worth of whats inside That's why I've always been right here So when time came, I could be near To watch the spirit comforth and grow Into all I've seen there and known Not a court jester am I, or ever in controle Never even wanted any of that role No power struggle going on here By the way, No lies from me have been told So lots of time and love to make up for Is all that matters inside these doors Out of love I always made it clear There was complete freedom, to just go True love doesn't hold captive But wants whats best for their love No Matter what happens So on this note I think I'll close And if theres anything You would like to know You know exactly where I'm at Just don't hang up I guess thats that... Thank You |

So lots of time and love to make up for Is all that matters inside these doors Out of love I always made it clear There was complete freedom, to just go True love doesn't hold captive But wants whats best for their love No Matter what happens nicely done and said... liked the thought in these lines..so they stuck out to me..

I agree. I would agree totally, except that I don't believe anyone who's gone through it ever gets over it totally. Good luck to you. |

"Learning" is relatively easy -- it's the UN-learning which serves as the challenge, not to even mention Trust. Strong stuff here, Connie, and many good points to think over. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
