Do you like getting out of bed on the wrong side every morning?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Or would you rather be happy and stable and enjoying life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Get a copy of Repair Your Life<\/em><\/strong> and begin working the program.)<\/p>\n

This is one of my recovery poems which are now compiled in a book called
\nOdyssey, A Spiritual Journey<\/strong>, <\/em>soon to be published. If you are a victim of child sexual abuse, you may find yourself in it.<\/p>\n

Loving Way Too Much<\/h3>\n

My scarred and bleeding heart is painful to the touch,<\/p>\n

The price I have to pay, for loving way too much.<\/p>\n

Fearful I’ve become at all surrounding me<\/p>\n

I dare not even look to see who I might be.<\/p>\n

I thought I was so brave and filled with self esteem,<\/p>\n

But I stumble in the darkness and on everybody lean.<\/p>\n

The errors I have made, dormant in my heart<\/p>\n

Now return to haunt me and tear my soul apart.<\/p>\n

Do I need to live this way? Is it of my own choice?<\/p>\n

Do I heed the words of others or hear just my own voice?<\/p>\n

The answers spoken freely have been worded much before.<\/p>\n

I always knew my strength lay hidden at my core.<\/p>\n

So now I’ll seek my base like the roots inside a tree<\/p>\n

And my loving way too much will always start with me.<\/p>\n
