Yoga and Total Health — December 2017

(Barré) #1
I have slowly built a wall around myself, brick by brick,
Every time someone comes to break it, I unknowingly make it harder for others.
The more I am hurt inside, the more I hurt others,
The more someone loves me, the more I hurt them.
I wish someone could understand me,
I wish I could explain myself to someone,
Every time I try to convince others of my behaviour, it is actually myself I am trying
to convince.
Every time I convince others that I am just doing my duty, it is actually me bound
to others by love.
The more you try to help me, the more I feel incapable,
The more you avoid me, the more I feel unwanted.
Every time I am angry at you, it is myself I am more angry with,
Every time I say I don’t need you, all the more I need your assurance,
Every time I say leave me alone, all the more I need your comfort and security,
I don’t know why is it so hard to say what I think and what I feel,
Probably I myself don’t know what I feel!
It is just that you need to try harder to break the wall I have erected.

rrogance, My Shield
