A Piece Of Advice I'Ve Found Poem by T.A. Rosenbaum

Sometimes we feel unattractive and it feels good to hear you're gorgeous.

Sometimes we feel uninspired and it helps to hear how we inspire others.

Sometimes we feel foolish and its a relief to hear how someone screwed up worse.

Sometimes we feel guilty and it heals us when we hear we're forgiven.

Sometimes tears fall and when they are kissed away they disappear for good.

Sometimes we get frustrated and a patient heart and a kind smile wipes it away.

All the time there is a reason for us to cry.

All the time there a reason for us to quit.

All the time there is a reason for us to scream.

All the time there is a reason for us to stop believing.

All the time there is a reason for us not to feel fine.

All the time there is a reason for us to hide from our own feelings.

To hide from our own heart.

To hide from what others have done to us.

To hide from what we have done to ourselves.

To hide from the thousand secret battles we fight every day.

To hide from a world that doesn't love us!

To hide from this infesting pain!

To hide from sorrow!

To hide from retribution!

To hide from hate!

To hide from attrition!

To hide from ourselves that we are hiding.

To hide from our own heart.

Sometimes, all the time, to hide is irrelevant.
Sometimes what we need finds us.

All the time the question is when, not if
.Are we willing to wait?
