I feel so broken sometimes
Wonder how anyone could want me
Then there is you
Says they do
Sometimes I go right along with it
Sometimes I get frustrated
Torn
Between what I need
What I want
And
Who I am.
It would be so easy
To jump into a defensive mode just then
You never do.
Gentleness is your answer
Love is your sword
And it works.
Please don’t doubt my love for you
And in my times
Where I’m battling
Please forgive me.

What we want is not always what we need, but ‘understanding’ is.
A fabulous read.
Being understood is the best. Thank you.
