I have been to the well of a thousand tears
i have received a thousand tears in my soul
the agony had bent me, ripped me broken me.

and now I have grown,
and now I have healed.

What virtue is there in this pain i did endure?
Forsooth it revealed the measure of the man
destroyed all false confidence in myself
destroyed all illusions as to who i thought i was.
destroyed all thoughts as to who i wanted to be.
destroyed all false belief in who i could count on
destroyed all false friendships.
destroyed all false relationships with those i thought did love me

and now all I want is anew.

the false mold has been broken, and out of it springs my soul unfettered and anew.

all i can say is be very careful
be very careful before you set an intention or ask for something with all your soul

with full meaning and feeling behind what you intend.
for i created an intention that altered my reality so much that i cannot recognize what i called "my life"

be severely certain you want the answersand you know the things you really want to be in life,
before you are thrust forever out of -the idyllic comfort zone
you created for yourself.
you know in part of what i speak.

Life has lessons to teach us all, and we all visit the well of a thousand tears at some point.
try to come back without your soul twisted with bitterness,
seek truth, Love and commitment from yourself.
