There is an aspect of ideas that I’ve been reading about.
And that is the fear of abandonment.
How women would rather stay with someone who treats them badly,
But won’t leave them, rather than be with someone who treats them well
that might leave.
I’m gonna take my chances.
I’m ready to find one who will treat me well.
I could say I’ve had it! But really, I just can’t take it.
My body is sore, my nerves are frail,
my skin is dry, my scalp aches,
my eyes are drawn, my brow won’t unfurl
and my soul shouts out from a cage within.
I want to live in love with life
I deserve a stable one to live and share with,
One who finds pleasure in the sun
and recognizes that life is to be enjoyed.
I start with me.
I treat me well, I make my bed
I brush my hair, I rest when I’m tired,
I play when I’m restless, I sing when I’m happy
and I let the tears fall when the rivers swell.
I start with me.
I eat for nourishment, I nurture my inner child,
I protect myself without feeling fearful
because no one can ever hurt me
unless I let them in.
