Would you love me

Would you love me?
If I told you I was molested?
If I told you I hate Myself?
If I told you I don't know my identity.
If I told you I'm not the person you see.
If I told you I barely want to wake up in the morning.
If I told you I'm disgusting.
If I told you I'm lonely.
If I told you I'm ashamed.
The person you see is never certain of himself.
Always wanting help.
But knows he can't seek it.
Knowing his character will be judged.
Going out of my way to help or keep others happy.
But never myself.
Would you love me?
I don't think you can.
Only when you understand me.
Is only when you can love me.
For I don't understand myself
So no way can I love myself.
Would you love me?
There's people I wish I can open up to.
But it seems impossible.
Would They love me?
But I don't think they'd understand.
That doubt and fear is always here.
Wanting to be at peace.
Would they love me if I shared?
Wanting care.
A hug.
A warm Gentle hug.
Saying I understand.
Would it erase my fear.
My anxiety gone.
My depression no longer here?
I've run from some of the people that were there.
Who did care.
I looked at them with a blank stare.
Something inside....
Has died.
Myself.
Never showing it.
I hide my fractured soul.
With anger.
You've noticed a change.
But never knew the reasoning.
No longer do you reach out for me.
It hurts me to know you don't understand.
Only Blaming myself.
When I'm around now.
Nothing feels the same.
How it use to be.
For me.
I'm no longer present.
Things take me back.
So much on mind.
When you see me with that blank stare.
Would you love me?

If I have a longing to connect with others, it’s important that I try to remember that, just as I have been wounded by life sometimes, so have others. I can’t expect that they will have all the courage and confidence to build a bond. I have to meet them somewhere along the high limb I ask them to crawl out on. Their response to my blank stare may not be boredom or frustration - it may be because their affection has been rejected before, and left scars as real as my own.

It’s not a contest of who got hurt worse more often - but that most of us are somewhere in rehabilitation of the heart and need to be gentle with each other, even as we are being protective of ourselves. I may never fully understand your pain any more than you will completely understand mine. But we can both try not to cause any more pain.

Keep trying.
