Is it wrong?

by CJ Maleney   Nov 2, 2018


Is it wrong to love!?

If it is for the right reasons?
Is it right sun and moon affects our feelings?

Is it right that we should shrink away,
To blend in so so quietly and to be afraid?
The things we do, the things we think,
Emotions teetering on the brink!

The things we think and feel each day.
Is it right to dodge and procrastinate?
When you know and feel it's inside of you,
To emotion and self should you be true?

When it's difficult and hard to love,
Do you seek guidance from a God above?
It's inside, but being held below!
You need to let it out and let it flow.

You can never hope to love another?
But thoughts won't sit upon that shelf.
You will never love completely
If you do not love yourself!

      I often start with the end. The hard bit is making the start fit the emotion and context.

    Such true thoughts! Sometimes I feel like we seek guidance and desire acceptance from others, when really we need it from ourselves. Once we can honestly love ourselves, then we can give and know what love entails.

      Self hatred is such an awful thing. I've been there.

      Lately I'm more at peace but I still have dark moments.

      Sometimes I think we need to accept our failings and not be transfixed by them.

      Then we can move on
