yes, to a certain extent we create our situations, but also we 'allow' them to thrive when we are too afraid to make the hard choices or do the painful work. I live in a glass house... so I can't throw stones.. :-)

Excellent and well written poem,take care

I think these "Being rejected, forgotten, misunderstood" are the greatest fears of all, for me anyway, having experienced each of these, where they were and are not self imposed. Standing on the outside looking in, is a painful thing and not being accepted for who you are is devastating, especially when the desire to be a part of things are intense. My intuition is very keen and keeps me safe from mean people, who may otherwise chrush my heart. This is a brilliant write. I seem to have related to it very well. Thank you for writing! Warmth, Carin'

Very profound and well written.
