Learning To Trust Again

A really heavy poem for me and a special video as well, I had so much fun producing this, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Tell me a childhood secret because I gave mine away

My name
is just an awkward pause away

I wish you could meet me when I was still fun to be around
I don't have much to offer other than hugs
and tears

I like sad music, and sunny days
I love meeting new people, yet I'm an introvert
I know I'm a contradiction

But your dog seems to like me
I always thought the sight of a dog learning to trust was heartwarming

Trust takes patience
Patience takes time

And for some reason, your dog instantly knew

I'm afraid
I'm afraid a monster lives inside both of us

I'm afraid
I'm afraid someone will get scared and run away

I'm afraid
I'm afraid I'm not enough for you

I'm afraid
I'm afraid I'm not enough for anyone

Show me your hands and protect me from my mind tonight
I'm sorry, I'm afraid to show you mine

Show me your mouth and let your words orbit my wounds instead of mine
I'm really sorry, I'm afraid to show you mine

I'm afraid of who you expect me to be
and I'm afraid of who I really am

So my dear
Show me your eyes
And I'll show you mine

"I wish you could meet me when I was still fun to be around." That hit deep.

There's no healthy relationship without trust

“I’m afraid of who I truly am.” reminds me of the quote ‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.’
That’s been a commonality through my journey and I’m just now learning to let the light shine. I’m grateful for this expression of art, for your poetry.

When she said at 0:29
"I dont have much to offer other than hugs and tears"
My heart replied
'And i would love to recieve that dear'
This hits hard..🌠

Trust is the hardest thing to find and the easiest to lose.

I'm happy to write music for your poems! ❤✨

"I wish you had meet me when I was fun to be around" is so relatable and that "Hello" at the end sounded so warm, waiting for that Hello, which I can trust. <3

“I wish you could meet me when I was still fun to be around”


Ouch 💔

"i know i am a contradiction, but you like me, and i love you" nobody stayed because i was too much, if only you could be in my shoes.

"I'm afraid a monster lives inside both of us."
Amazing piece of art. It relieves you when you can find yourself resonating to such beautiful pieces of work. I hope you know you're doing a really amazing job. These are all beautiful segments of poetry, better said than unsaid. And glad you're presenting these this way.

"I don't have much to offer other than hugs and tears"

That's more than enough.

" Trust needs patience, and patience needs time ".. most true thing i've heard today.

[motherofcats]

As an introvert with trust issues this hits home really hard and deeply.

[ash-zche]

Holy Moly!!!! So relatable!! This is absolutely marvelous!!!! And the poem is splendidly written!!

[spacebrickz]

this is a beautiful poem, thank u <3 “show me your eyes” is such a stand out line about trust for me, new subscriber here, so rare to find this kind of originality on youtube

“I wish you could meet me when I was fun to be around.” Hit me hard. The older I get the more bleh and stoic I get. Life just affected me that way, it’s hard to be like my 8 year old self with all the stuff in my life right now. I wish someone could’ve met me when I was younger and stayed with me so that at least I could have someone who I could talk with that wouldn’t judge me as edgy.

"I'm afraid of who you expect me to be. I'm afraid of who I really am." 🥺

I was genuinely moved by this. It was vulnerable and human and captured something of the fugitive nature of moments.

I feel like she sat at the seat of my soul when she wrote this. No truer words have been spoken about me. Thank you for helping me to understand myself more with this piece ❤
