ABOUT ME

By Hope · August 15, 2017

My family and friends …. have their lives to live,
And unless I am asked …. my advice I don’t give,
     For it is their doing …. the CHOICES are theirs.
     I need to just concentrate … on my own affairs.

When focused on them …. and how they will solve?
I find myself meddling …. thoughts around them revolve.
     My life is much better ….. and I can feel FREE,
     When the problems I’m solving …. are just ABOUT ME!!

( The other is know as CODEPENDENCY)

A MASK

By Hope · August 5, 2017

A SMILE is often a persons defense,
     To keep their real feelings inside,
It is A MASK that they can wear,
     And, from others, their true feelings hide.

When you ask them “How are you doing?”
     They SMILE and say” Oh, I’m just fine,”
Avoiding what they really feel,
     This MASK will work every time.

They not only mislead other people,
     They shortchange themselves in this way,
Not acknowledging what their true feelings are,
     With this MASK … themselves … they betray.

A smile that is truly genuine,
     Is something that comes from the heart,
It’s not a MASK … to cover true feelings.
     Self honesty …. is where we all must start.
