Me

Author: Abby1963

I love you
I hate you
I need you

Afraid to love
Afraid to be loved
Push most away
Scared of you

Have many fears
Don’t abandoned me
Tell me you love me
I won’t cry

Shadows always running through my head
Living with this condition
I’ve been given
My head hurts

Don’t judge
Show respect
Nobody’s perfect

Sometimes we see exactly what we crave in a person so perfect for 30% of the time, we tend to overlook the 70% destruction they have over us in the hope that those odds will switch.
It's human nature to hope.

You captured that here so well.

I love you
I hate you
I need you.

One day you will feel whole with someone..

Abby I would say...
I love me
I do not hate me
I need to be myself
Take those shadows and fit them in a bottle, throw it out in the ocean, so someone can bring it light.
Take care my Dear Poet. SM

Yes mick the words came from deep with inside of me . Trying to understand and to accept and learn it’s trauma that was given to me it’s not my fault it was a way for me to survive now I know why all of these crazy emotions and that you stood beside me no judgment you and I go back so so far, but I make this promise to myself and to you, it may take several months, but I’m going to write the sweetest happiest poem

Oftentimes we can be our own worse critics.

People with low self esteem and poor self image are taught that by abusers. Be it emotional or physical abuse.

What is sad though many often project their anger and frustration onto others not associated with the abuse.

The worse we do is attack ourselves and impose self guilt and feelings of unworthiness to be loved and cared for.

Overall, Abby do consider you are loved and accepted by many here. Nevertheless, it's better to have one or two loyal friends than 100 empty shallow ones.
