I want to Bear my soul to you



I want to Bear my soul to you,
I really truly do,
I want to Bear my soul to you,
But I don't know if I can,
I want to Bear my soul to you,
Please will you help me to?

My deepest thoughts and secrets, the darkest parts of Me, the emotions that I have,
They are just so deep
 
And most of my life
I was taught,
On these things,
We should not speak!

I wanted to Bear My Soul
To the ones in my life,
But with the few that I did,
I was told to be quiet,
So I Listened and I hid

Over the years that silence has been chipping away
At me, and my physical and mental health,
Have suffered so violently

I want to Bear my soul to you
But on the inside I'm so scared,
But I'm tired of the silence,
I'm tired of my fears

But how do I open up again,
When the people in my past,
The few that I spoke to,
Have left me in my sorrow,
And have kicked me to the curb,
No longer a part of me,
Oh' how this Hurts

Over the last year I've been learning about finding
Your tribe, and it has made me come to realize Something, the ones that left me,
They where never truly mine

In this past year and a half,
I have made a new set of friends, a group of Godly
Women, My Tribe They Shall Be, they have taken this Past year and have just loved on me

My heart at times it still is hurting, but this group, this Tribe, their love over time has started to heal the Shattered pieces of my life and unlike Humpty Dumpty, I feel like I can be put back together again

I have been slowly starting to open up about things in my past, the hurts and the emotions that I had to keep Silent, are wanting to come out at last

But then my mind plays tricks on me and tells me to Shut up, it says Laura your going to lose them,
Your going to lose them all,
Your new tribe will leave you,
They will see you fall

But I can't let this overcome me,
I have to fight that battle in my head,
And just know that my new tribe loves me
And wants me to be set free

Silence is a killer,
It rottens you from within
So I have to start speaking,
I have to get it all out,
And let them all in,
And have faith my new tribe
Will stick by my side

Through my highs and lows, and through thick
And thin, to love me, to guide me and never leave me,
Because I would never leave them

I Love my new tribe of Friendships
They are truly sisters at heart
My Celebrating Woman
You all have my heart

I want to Bear my soul to you,
I really truly do,
I want to Bear my soul to you,
Will you help me too?

About this poem

When you are hurt and needing to talk but people in the past told you not to.. you slowly die within and then when you make new friends it's scary to be completely myself and open up to them, what if it happens again my mind ask... But I need to speak and tell my truth , True friends will love me no matter what and the ones in the past that didn't where not my true friends I felt like I needed them though so I changed myself for them, not anymore, those friends are gone and now is my time to heal and to move on.
