You’ve said all along
my unfounded fear
in my own ability
was exactly that.
Unfounded.
Not true.
I’ve tried to be
to do
to want
to desire.
But yet…
I fail.
I fall.
Down.
Your love props me up
changes my
self deprecation,
loathing and delusions
of inadequacy.
A smile from you,
a hug
a gentle touch…
kind words of support
encouragement
motivation
the falling stops
ever so briefly
and once again
I start
to
believe.

I wrote this one quite a while ago, and it got lost in the myriad of unpublished completed works. It's not a happy piece. I am guessing I was not in a good place when I wrote it.
