THE OTHER SIDE OF ME!

I genuinely like who i am, that i know for sure,

but there is another side of me, im searching for. 

Im so dependent, and i hate being left alone, 

if im not with anyone, im probably on the phone. 

My emotions get the best of me, im always a wreck, 

I wish I didn't need someone else to keep me in check. 

If im going to do something new, i want a friend to tag along,

I wish i wasn't so scared, to march to the beat of my own song. 

I want to feel free, but i feel im being held back, 

I always have a boyfriend following in my tracks. 

Though im starting to think, maybe thats just an excuse,

Maybe i shouldn't hold myself back, and let myself loose.

I want to feel confident, independent, secsessful and strong, 

Iv depended on so many people for far to long. 

I want to look in the mirror to see,

a beautiful more happy me. 

I dont want to be afraid if i stumble and fall, 

I want to feel like i wont need anyone there at all. 

Im sick of this pain i always endure, 

I don't want to deal with it anymore. 

I just hope that shes there deep down inside, 

and some day she will no longer hide. 

Because god i need her, and i want her here, 

so i can live life with a little less fear.

This is a great poem, well-written with good form & speaking your truth with grace. Clearly you already know where you are & where you want to be. The only thing lacking is to have the courage to face the little bridge of loneliness that we all must face as we embark on our journey to be true to ourselves. There will always be some discomfort when striving for anything worth having. This discomfort seems to cause you to reach for someone, some crutch to distract you from the growth you crave. I know you will get there becuz admitting it is the first step. The best writing comes from people who can be self-honest & you’ve got that in truckloads! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
