I guess we all struggle to see who we are sometimes, this is me giving myself a kick start. :) View table of contents...

My words
My petty emotions
Building up
And slipping away
Secom silly fears
Fortifying my habits
And let me leave
This place
 
So no words
My pretty notions
Bending promises
Or pointing the blame
Off this fence
It’s time to solidify
And let me find
Myself again

Nice if you can do that, a very worthwhile trait. Economically expressed.

Thank you for that Irwin, I can but try! :) ~ Nixie

We all need to regroup every now and then and solidify. Sometimes I will cry a lot and pray and look at myself and see a shambles, but after a while I am encouraged in the Lord and feel better and stronger.

I like to stop and evaluate where I am, and I haven't done that in a while and so I end up getting lost. But I think if you can recognise it, you have the power to change it and in choosing to be positive you can grow stronger. :) And if the lord helps along the way, it's one more blessing to be thankful for. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts Susan, always appreciate it. ~ Nixie

We can't always be 100% self-assured, peoples opinions cloud our judgement, our own sense of right and wrong can sometimes distort things. The only real way we can "reset" ourselves so to speak is by taking yourself out the loop have some reflection time, glavanise yourself and get back out there.

Hope you are now ready, willing, and good to go. :-D

Yep, I'm getting there! Things are good, but reflecting always make things clearer and like you say sometimes stepping out helps to see things differently. Thanks for the support Jak, I owe you a drink when we go out! :) ~ Nixie

we all need a wake up at times and see who we really are. sometimes the only person who can do that is our own self.
nice:) lexie

That's too true Lexie, couldn't put it better myself! Thank you for reading as always! :) ~ Nixie

I think it was really pretty and had a sense of serenity to it that was nice. There's a steely strength, survival and a touch of surrender in it. (I don't know why all the S words!) This again has the delicate touch that you always have in your poetry. (Secom?)

Secom, as in after everything, come. I think? LOL I was going to make the poem into an S shape, so it's so weird that you should mention all the S's!! I think you did a good job analysing this, I couldn't of put it better myself! Oh and thanks for that delicate touch compliment. :) I really like that! ~ Nixie

Aaaah! SOLIDIFY! Something that I certainly need to do sometime soon. I think this poem is going to be an inspiration for me!

A little progress is a nice feeling! *Sigh* thank you Classy! ~ Nixie

Ah! I love it! I had to re-read the second stanza cause my brain was filling in the words. But then I read it again and it was genius. I could read it over and over again. And have!

Wow, a genius? Can I have that in writing so I can get rid of my dippy rep! Hah! Thank you for always reading Em, love your comments! ~ Nixie

^^Yes,Dear it is right that,whenever we think about it make us nervous and try to bring near in our beliefs.Well there is a beautiful Line in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji(Sikh religions holy scripture,also known as living Spiritual word Master)that,"Fruitful is that moment,and fruitful is that time,when one is in with the Love of True Lord" I think it's abslouetly right,and i think you too,agree with this.Well,Small slice of life.

By the way i am very sorry that i didn't reply over your comment that you gave at 'God's Word',actually since last one and half week, i didn't login into my account,that's why i didn't reply.I think that you forgive me for this.
God bless you.

What a lovely quote Vicky, and yes I do agree with it. Self love is important in order to be able to give love. Don't worry about no replying,. of course I forgive, there's no reason to think otherwise, I sometimes take time out too, as is life! :) Thank you for coming by Vicky, really appreciate it. ~ Nixie

Sometimes we have to stop and look inside , to see what is calling us to get out, great one .

Author Comment:

I couldn't agree with you more, I think it's important to know where you are and where you're heading. Thanks so much Jbortti, it's nice to see you about on booksie! :) ~ Nixie

Another wonderful poem Nixie.

Sometimes we do need to step back and give ourselves a good kicking out of our routines and comfort zones.

Its such a wonderful feeling when you get your drive back and achieve so much more.

Peace

I couldn't of put it better myself, and I actually think I'm getting there. It feels good, and I'm chuffed to have you come read my work. I really owe your page a visit, I'm sorry I haven't lately... but I will! :) Thanks again Boneman. ~ Nixie

We start finding ourselves when we're lost. Losing is part of the entire process of finding and discovering what is and what is not. We do get lost and when we're found, we'll have a better perspective of things and then there comes CHANGE. It's gonna be a very challenging journey.

I love your poem.
Very encouraging. ^^
