Its too soon and I am in no way ready for any romance, but thoughts will come and that is what this about.

Only Heroes Need Apply

The vultures always seem to gather
When I am the most vulnerable
But don't mistake this broken heart as a desperate one

Because, although you cannot see the scars
I have fought battles you know nothing about
And rose again from the flames like a Phoenix
Again and again until I learned to be strong

Only a fool would try to scale these walls or swim this moat
In hopes of something futile
There is no nail-biting princess here
Only a ravaged shell of a lady
Who will accept nothing less than a hero

And if there are no heroes left to scale the wall or swim that moat
She will spend her life in solitude
Rather than have her heart ripped from her soul again
For some coward wrapped up in charm

For I had learned to love again and lost
And will never love that way again
Unless some tender Hercules appears among the mortals

She walked through fire, she learned its name,
Not burned by it, but made more wise.
What lives in her is not the flame,
But truth reflected in her eyes.

She does not beg to be made whole,
Nor trade her heart for empty art.
She guards with care her steady soul,
And shares it only where there’s heart.

Her past is not a closing door,
But sharpened sight, a truer view.
A woman who has lived before
Knows what real happiness should do.

And when it comes, it comes as peace,
Not fear, not struggle, not disguise.
She chose herself, and in release,
Found joy that finally chose her life.

@Justmeraeagain Not everyone feels this. But that's ok. I just write things out of my head.
Sometimes others understand.

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

@justanotherone I write pretty much the same way and have the same experience.

justanotherone · 51-55, M

@Justmeraeagain I will check it up. :-)

All hero’s don’t wear capes and may come from the least expected place.

Trust your heart and your soul and you mind.

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

@Sojournersoul
Heros are loyal, down to earth, steady souls who protect what is thier's with all they have.
They don't throw away what they have for what sparkles off in the distance.
At least that's my definition.

Sojournersoul · M

@Justmeraeagain I agree with you.

You take all the time you need to work through everything. Hopefully one day it`ll happen for you, but until then one day at a time. ❤

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

@Degbeme I am not rushing anything and doubt it will happen, and that is okay, too.

I hope there will be a hero for you one day. I am not ready either. Friendship is enough right now.

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

@PatientlyWaiting25 I'm trying to get up the courage to go into the real world again.

@Justmeraeagain Please be careful. There's so many scammers out there and I don't think it's ever good to find someone online.

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

@LadyGrace I am not looking online or anywhere else

Biggest mistake I made was rushing into my last relationship (not this one).

@Justmeraeagain There was talk of ASD, but I don't see it. Then again, I am not qualified. But I see her all the time. She might have dyslexia, THAT was a theory by a professional.

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

@uncalled4
My dad was most likely dyslexic -he never learned to read, however he was a brilliant craftsman.
I have older parents ( 1940's) and they really didn't know how to help kids then.

@Justmeraeagain It runs in the family. I don't think anyone juxtaposes letters but her brother had the speech impediment part of it. She has perfect diction but messes up the order of things, all kinds of information gets scrambled.

The brain really sucks. It's like these car companies that STILL can't build a good engine after 100 years.
