I've lost what I loved so much
I've always known, felt, the difficulty of suppressing what I really mean by words.
The real truth underneath, gut feeling.
I've always known, felt it, but never really told the truth, because of you.
I thought you couldn't handle it.
But now, I very much doubt that choice, if only I had told you the truth,
which I had been suppressing all these years, you might have still been standing here.
Goodbye, Self

Author's Note
Sometimes we realize that along the way in life, we might have lost parts of who we are. Sometimes we seem to lie to ourselves, just because the truth is too painful. We just can't handle it at that point in life.
I don't really know why I wrote this, it just came to me. I am not in a dark place in life at all. Sometimes words just come. Hope you'll like it.

Very thought-provoking. Most of us have been there or are there now. Hugs and peace, Oral
That was certainly the intention of this poem, glad it came across that way. *hug*
I love the 'lightning strike' type of poems... even if you aren't quite sure of the exact meaning... it's pouring from somewhere that's needing it aired... are my thoughts.... :)

I love to put a thought in motion. Suddenly being there, like to stimulate the other.
So when I receive back that I've achieved that, it's a great honor! It did come from a place inside of me. And like always I don't think about words,they flow out of me. I let them be, even when even I don't know from what kind of place/feeling they came. The answers usually come after ;-)

So much truth here. We lie to ourselves and those parts vanish over time. I'd not thought about it this way but your poem gave me new thoughts. Appreciate this very much. As I get older, I find myself trying to recapture some of has been lost. Love your writing!

I'm glad I was able to help you with that. We can learn a lot from the people around us. I think we all reflect at a certain age. Thank you for your message.
