You know, I realized that I don't seem to mean much to the people around me. I don't hold an important place in their lives, but it's okay. As they say, sometimes you need to focus on number one. At least I can say that I'm important to myself.
I wrote this piece a while ago, but I think that sometimes I need a reminder of the things that are in my heart. I hope that others remember that even if others don't always care about you the way that you need to be cared about, it is okay because you have one person who will always be there. That is you.
This piece is called The Water Envelopes my Soul wrote under one of my alias's Lighteningdreams.
"I’m like a gullible kid jumping into open fire, arms outstretched, breathing hitched as I fall. I fall into the waves of water that caress my sides and envelope me into their embrace. They tell me to take a risk even though I’m afraid. They speak to me, beckon me. Little whispers in my ears, tickling my hair against my cheek. I am tempted to make mistakes, tempted to to try something I’ve never done before in a hope to find out who I’m really supposed to be. Who I would have been if I hadn’t been destroyed. I float upon the water, eyes glued to the stars. Stars I had observed aplenty, making wishes, voicing my dreams and hopes, confessing my sins and my heartache. They watch me here, bare beneath them as I shed a little more of my protective bubble. They tell me to be me, to let myself be free. There are so many things that could go wrong, but we can only have faith that the next day will be a little better. People may lie to us, forget us and leave us behind, but we still have ourselves in the end. I will hold your hand, grip it tight so you know you have me. The me that has stood beside you when no one would speak, or listen. The me that watched you suffer, the me, that is watching you blossom like a beautiful flower glowing beneath the sun. Keep growing, you can grow with your mistakes… time has not passed you over."
