Barriers

Im safe alone
Confident
Calm
My strength is little tested
When i stand up alone

You are a drop of blood
That lands
On my heart
While you are here
I cannot be alone

Fear, so long ignored
Twists trust
Blocks words
Causes cracks in my strength
I cannot move for fear

In your Words is a truth
Unescapable
Undeniable
That to let go of alone
May hand me more to loose

And how do I regain my
Confidence
Strength
When comes the day
I am once more alone?

Lost in selfish fear
And too weak to trust
It is the fear of ending
That hides behind my heart

About this poem:
This is not at all like my normal styles, but has its own feeling and message that is true and I would like to share. The biggest obsticles to us finding real connections can be ourselves, our own pride and ego, our fear and independance.

I think the best way to demolish a barrier is to know it is there and choose to let it go.

Hi Ewoky

I have always believed that there is a world of difference between being alone and being lonely, the words alone and lonely are not synonyms.

For sure I get fed up with my own company from time to time and welcome interaction with others, and at times I am happy retreating into the bastion which is my own four walls.

You are right though, when seeking relationships, it can be scary balancing the pros and cons - and giving up or even simply sharing our own oasis of peace and tranquility.

Best wishes

barriers are placed not built over night and not only keeps what is inside from coming out but from outside from coming in. . .

I enjoyed your new style Ewoky thumbs up

This alone has shown a fine example in dislodging a barrier in the meaning behind your poem :) ie: a comfort zones.
Its down to trusting instinct within ourselves...
