The Power of A Few Choice Words

A little over a year ago I had no idea

That words written on paper could mean so much

I have always been  independent and I thought a free spirit

I notice this has all changed

I am not the person I use to be

No matter how hard I try to go back

I have grown from my shell and like a crab

Have moved on to a new one

I have left my comfort zone

I knew it would be tough

I look back at my old shell

It doesn't serve me well anymore

I thought I had enough convidence to do what I wanted

I have seen my positive energy drop

With no action taken

Not a word spoken

How could total silence crush my spirit and nock me flat

The words NO MATCHING  COMMENTS FOUND 

Are plain and clear

They stand as tall as A Palm tree I have never seen

The are as alive as the wave that crashes to the shore

They are as sharp as the sharpest knive in the cutting block

I have learned to be humble

I have learned to take my life in stride

Some days are exceptional and I never want to see those days end

Other times they are quiet and only a few words are printed on the silver screen

They are bold and catch hold of my breath

I look again and hope thats not what I see

Then I think where was I last year

I was a far, far place from here

I have come along way and I know I will travel much farther

But for now I shut down as I have lost my strength and stamina

I feel what it is to be lonely

I feel what it is too be left out

I understand the meaning of sad

I have learned one of those Great Life Lessons

I am not alone and I will always give what I have to those who don't have

So that I can see not though my eyes but through my love

Then a miracle it may be

My heart will again beat with such strength and pride

I realize it is not the comment

But the true love of all those who hide
