Beside Myself

All relationships teach us something and they don't always work out like we hope and pray for. We learn and grow from each adventure and always know we will stay with our own hearts knowing.

Dedicated to Larry Gonzalez

BESIDE MYSELF

 

Beside Myself

I lived cozy

I lived hard

Beside Myself.

 

I shared me when

I was able.

Beside Myself

I learned to trust.

 

Beside Myself

I always was.

No disappointment

lingers there.

For I knew I would

always be

Beside Myself.

 

I invited others

to sit beside me.

To learn of themselves,

most left when the

shadow appeared in

fear.

 

Not me I stayed

Beside Myself.

 

 

Most joined others

whom they felt safer

wtih.

Not me I stayed

Beside Myself.

 

Some say it's too big

of a price to pay to

stay Beside Myself.

 

But me I say what

better than to know

Myself in all its

forms.

 

For If I could not

stay Beside Myself.

I could

not stand beside you.

Beside yourself is the way to get aquinted with oneself and then to know yourself is a gift to others as well.

Many people never learn this. They are never really whole, are they? Well done, Rene.

Wonderful and oh so insightful write that you offer us here Rene with sage advice, some people never do learn to know themselves and spend their whole life living in or under other's shadows.

This is the first time I have read you but I have a feeling it won't be the last.

Until one can live with ones self, hen anyother relationship is doomed.
We need to be interdependant, for healthy relationship connections...

For If I could not
stay Beside Myself.
I could
not stand beside you.

I think that's very true, for all of us.
