Inner Worth...

My first "hit" in almost 3 months, brought this little "gem" on for me...


Poem Artwork

Some say I have it,

I find it hard to believe in that **it,

When I hear of it I commonly throw an internal fit,

No wanting the world to see my lack of self confidence ,

To most in the world it wouldn’t, but to me it makes sense…

 

Not physical pain, though with gathering age, I have some,

Psychological pain is far harder to release,

From whence we do not know, from where it did come,

Will it ever leave us, will we return to our past selves,

With then, a new life we will get a lease…

 

Tis cold outside & as well within,

We work through a life devoid of sin,

At least that’s what we say on that day we talk to Him,

But He is the only one that knows us within,

He will one day summon us before Him,

And when He does, God help us our insanity…

What? Meaningful words though.

I find that sharing my trials and struggles and lack of knowing anything for sure are all helped when I share with others. You are doing that through your words here. Love, peace, healing, and best wishes,

You've covered a lot of territory. I can only say that only you know your circumstances and your way to deal with them. I believe you way of coping is to write––and that you do copiously. Write on.

The more you search, the more you feel, the more vulnerable you become and the more self confident and worthy you'll feel.

God Bless You,

Thankfully, we can all decide what our own inner worth is; we should never let someone else tell us what it is.

This'it or that'it, here'it or had'it. Tag! You're'it, Ed, no doubt about it.

You said it yourself... "lack of self confidence"
I won't write a history here for we all suffer in
our own way... But eventually you will see that
Ed Matlack does "have it" when Ed learns to see
Ed as a talented man... psychological pain is the
most difficult to overcome, bones mend, the body
does most often, but our memory banks are difficult
to clear...

I would say any behavior that is not the status quo is interpreted as insanity, when, in fact, it might actually be enlightenment. Insanity is sorta in the eye of the beholder. :)
~Chuck Palahniuk~

Shall we all enjoy our insanity? Aye!
