Deception



As I lay awake fear fills my heart,
Darkness surrounding me

Seeking to find a protector
Somewhere within my soul
Someone to listen, but speaking no words

I open myself up
And to my amazement
I find the one I trusted
has deceived me once again.

I lay awake filled once more
with pain of deception,
Fearing the trust I gave,
will lead me into another hell.

What can I say about me? I'm many things to many people as I multi-task continually. I'm very creative, energetic, friendly, outgoing and a go getter but because of these good traits I'm a perfectionist with certain parts of my life.I believe strongly in giving back as you climb the ladder of success over stepping on people's toes. Much of my energy comes from thinking on the go, brainstorming continually, sometimes so much so I get lost in my own thoughts if I don't have someone to bounce my ideas off of. My perceptive nature to new situations with added persistence helps me learn and grow in many areas, independently and as part of a team.I enjoy all the pleasant things in life but can be critical of that I don't believe in. I try to say or word it without being to critical but had to learn to control my overzealous opinions and sit back to look at all sides of the situation.What I enjoy everyday is to learn something new. If I've learned something either from a good day or bad, a learning experience is an enlightening and growing experience. more…
