Disturbed

maybe I was looking
in the wrong place for
a better place for me
past all the things
that you see as flaws
to step out of the glass circle
where I could breathe
without an if
you give me
way too much credit
I am not all that disturbed
thinking life can be found
with happiness in it
without it being a fantasy
and the dreams I have
are not all that far
from arms reach
it is not too complicated
there are things in me
not hidden from view at all
and in it I am honest
and have never left out
any of the facts
showing plainly my true heart
so there are no mysterious secrets
maybe I do have wounds
known only to me
that fill me
with understandable fears
and my emotions
are things I can not hide
in my sheer joy or
when tears easily fall
but maybe what you see
as disturbed is that
I am unconditional
it is the only way that
I know how to love
and maybe the one
that is disturbed
is not me at all

Maybe? It looks like a no brainer to me!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Excellent.  To feel is to be, and to be honest in how you feel is live true.  Great write.

a bit of a rant, a bit of a whine, but still kryptonite. your style is to elegant not to be.

Helen, I always love the openness and honesty in your writing.  Maybe, you are not the one disturbed!

Helen, that's the only way that I know to love, too....
too bad that everybody doesn't love that way, isn't it?
Hugs,
