What you can't accept in yourself

What's in you, you find in another, insecurity is its mother...................................so queer
Born lack of trust  deep inside, from womb it bursts not to confide.. ...................it's here
Clawing to hold on, fearing it'll soon be gone .......................................................growing fear
Suspicion born seeds in a social garden grows thorn and weeds.......................... threats appear
Control seen as a tool to command a world seen as cruel......................................so austere
Deck stacked, I feel attacked.... ..............................................................................be severe
Protection a must, total lack of trust................................................................... ....steer clear
Them you need to do before they get you ..............................................................make them disappear

Dear Soren
there are so many things you cannot accept in yourself....This is a very interesting way to write these thoughts about you! You seem to be downgrading yourself... when, in fact, we all have these notions about ourselves at times... I could rattle off so much about my childhood, but it would probably scare you! we just have to accept and not necessarily change, just know they exist and live your life the best way you can...
No one is perfect, and you being so intelligent know that! These are your protections against your own inner feelings....like putting up a stop sign...and we all do that as well....Thank you for sharing this honest piece!
Warmly, B

Betty thank you so much for your concern but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar as Freud would say I do not always write about me but about the things I see and in over 40 years of treating such people I have grown familiar with the process. Your concern for me is treasured as is your read of this piece Betty

You are very welcome Soren... seems like I took it too literally...
Warmly, B
