Be myself again
“‘Cause you could spend your life
Lookin’ for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what’s real
And what’s projected
Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it’d cost
I’d still give what remains
To be myself again”
from the song
Be Myself Again
by Donna Summer
My emotions have been all over the place today with that displaced feeling of not knowing where I belong and looking in the mirror and not knowing who I am.Emotions play a big part of who we are and I am very good at masking my emotions that on some days I don’t recognize myself. Haven’t we all been here at one stage or another of our lives?
I held my emotions long enough to make rational decisions about my future and today it all hit me . . . the stress of the past month. I’ve been there before when keeping it together to take an exam and have allowed myself to fall apart after it was done. Sometimes the strength we possess is amazing.
Tears are a cleansing of the soul when an emotional surge is needed to express those things held inside too long. Now my strength has been renewed by emotions that were as temporary waves, ridden out through a safe harbor within.
lovely song
