I want more strength in my life.

I want to be selfish,
to be free,
to have all the little things
that will make me happy.
I want peace of mind,
to be loved,
and share my heart,
without fear of who I am.
I want to smile,
to laugh,
even to be myself
without fear in my heart.
I want to let go of the hurt,
let go of the anger,
let go of the friends
who do nothing but cause me pain.
I will succeed,
have all I desire,
be free with who I am
then I will be content.

    lovely poem straight from the heart. but do you think that selfish will make you free and happy or will it imprison you?

    sharing your heart is wonderful, so why do you fear who you are?

    Reading your poem you are free already, what stops you from realising it?
