Avoidance = Safe

I’ve been loved
by someone
When I wanted
to be free
And I’ve loved someone
desperately
When clearly
they didn’t
love me
I couldn’t find
a balance
I felt all men
would just hurt me
I made a choice
very purposefully
And I withdrew
from family, friends, and society
Alone
I finally could see clearly
the common denominator
in my failed relationships
was me

    • Oh I know what you mean!! I have had to make a concerted effort to actually go out at times! Hang in there, a frog awaits, I’m sure lol ( sorry, I reckon you have to kiss a lot of toads just to find a frog 🐸 😁)

  2. Avoidance may well = safe but why avoid the chance of happiness? Safe will leave you lonely (you can be lonely in a crowd). Love you Kait, thank you so much for the signed copy of my see through mind, it arrived today. Keep it real and I’ll keep commenting xoxo
