The rain brings one less a tear For then I feel I am being watched Felt sorry for? I think not! A glance from your watchful eye And your mouth the words "Never good enough" No matter what I am critcized No matter what the subject My ego melts away There is no self esteem What talents? I ask myself You can list whatever you want and I will find someone who proves it wrong I can never be better Never be best Sometimes I am worst Sometimes I am ok Never above, never below Always the same Tell me I'm good Show me I'm real Prove to me someone knows my tears!

The "someone who proves it wrong" - I wonder who that could be. We are our own worst critics. A sad poem that I read is speaking of the continual search for confirmation but not getting that because of not believing it when it does come. Left me feeling very lonely. |

Oh hon, I feel your pain. I stood where you are now standing a couple of years ago. Someone in my life gradually destroyed all my ego and self assurance. I had slowly changed to completely sad, shy, introverted instead of my usual extroverted self. Longing to fit in yet believeing I didn't etc. Whomever did this to you ain't worth it, move on. With hope and faith in yourself and some venting here in Dark, things will soon be on track your way again. If you need to talk please email me anytime, I've been there, I understand. This was really well written too!! < !signature--> May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) [This message has been edited by Isis (edited 02-28-2000).] |

~i felt this poem completely! i too have been in a similar situation...questioning am i good enough..whatever that means. Only because I've been to hell and back in search of this quest, do I feel I can respond to this piece. Sweetie, I came to learn we are our own worst enemies...apparenly though someone is tearing down your self-esteem. Please don't let them. You are better than that. Look around you to all this amazing talent that comes to Passions...all these people sharing their pain, love, happiness, fears...that in itself says there is hope. Believe in yourself first and foremost! If you ever want to talk please feel free to email me as well. Take care, Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

I know your tears. been there and i can still feel that sense of unworthiness rear its ugly head when i read this. i know i have trouble putting those feelings down on paper, but you have captured it well. |

I can definetly agree with Aimster. I too have been to hell and back...and it's not a nice journey. Although it wasn't for the contents of this poem, it wasn't nice. But I have felt this way too. But with friends, like you, I slowly inched my way up to only semi-depression! ^_~ ~goddess of love, passion, and desire~ I'll be here...why? I'll be waiting...for what? 'll be waiting for you so...if you come here, you'll find me... I promise. |
