Losing oneself only to finally find oneself again with the help of another.
           Confidence          Lost          April 7, 2012

Confidence Lost


Lost so lost and alone


In a world of my own making


Yet not of my own will




Once strong and independent


Confident and ready to take on the world


Prepared to live a life of love and happiness




Where did the disconnect happen?


Self buried under another's needs


Sacrificing so that another may blossom




Now desperate for a way out, soon, fast


Suffocating, lost and alone


Freedom needed, but losing spirit, nearly given up




Then a friend from a distance beckons


Lending a sympathetic ear and supplying a lifeline


Providing a hope long thought lost




Such honest and open friendship


Never asking for anything, yet providing everything


Becoming intertwined, heart, mind, and soul




A slow awakening, confidence opening


As if a flower in the spring


Awake and eyes wide open, the way out


Can finally be seen
