Loving Others Again
Be Patient
With so many thoughts running through our minds at one time
It does not surprise me when we get confused
Some emotions are so strong that they sweep us off our feet
It seems easier to ignore love than to be hurt again
We focus on the hurt and the pain
Replaying those sad times over and over like scratches on a c.d. that continues to skip
We believe we can never leave
We find comfort going back to the same familiar place that we were hours and days before
Like oil men on a big rig
We refuse to leave
So we keep drilling in the same hole
The hole gets deeper and deeper
The only difference is there is no oil there
We know the facts but we refuse to listen
Angry at the world for not helping us
When it is us that has to help ourselves
To a new and better life
We have made mistakes
We have felt the pain
Now it is time for us to make a better choice
To feel good again and to let go of those feelings we know that hurt us so
No one can help us through this door way that we don't want to walk through
People we care about give us suggestions and help
Religions across the world offer many prayers for comfort
Almighty God is there
It is once again left up to us to decide
Do we want to let peace come through
Are we done causing our own misery
That will continue as long as we let it
Have we found something in life to cling to
That we hold dear and we can open our hearts and our minds
Then finally let go of the tears and show our true emotions
We have the right to live a life of love
Let the good emotions serve us well
To teach us life is not a living hell
But a place where all our thoughts our held
When we give and care happiness sneaks its way in
Slowly things don't seem as bad as they were
We are a far cry from feeling all those great feelings that we once did feel
Let one feeling come and go
Decide if that feeling is helping you or hurting you
If it is helping you accept it into your life
If it is hurting you dismiss it as a cold or flu that you learned how to shake
It came and stayed a bit but now you learned how to send it away
Now do what you love to do
Those interests will occupy your thoughts and mind
The blahs will disappear
Soon you will let go of those unneccesary fears that controlled you
Then we can live again and love will tag close behind
To teach us
Love is always there
No matter if we see it or not
Then and only then we can let it in
