This poem I wrote January 11, 1999, and I wrote this for any one who has ever said "I understand" because in fact they don't. They can't. I don't look at the world, I look in the world.

I feel I am the only one who can actually see this world and everyone else is invisible to my thoughts. Although I know they are visible to many.

This is a poem that reflects on my life experiences. I was unable to accept love, therefore I was unable to give love. By realizing a few things, I am now ready to face my life's greatest challenge.

My parents fought a lot when I was little and I find myself afraid to love anyone because I may end up like them.
