Over the last year I have learned a lot about self-esteem, confidence and relationships. I have never posted a poem, or written one since I was in school, but here's two. Let me know what you think.

Crossing the Bridge
Words are spoken,
but what’s heard?
For what we speak
shapes one’s soul.
A damaged heart protects.
Anxiety, vulnerability, fear
fills the pit between
you and I.
I pull, you pull harder.
Confidence dwindling,
needing an invisible thread to be weaved,
to mend the broken.
And to cross the bridge together,
Hand in hand.

Iceberg
Hidden below the surface
talents and strengths reside.
Afraid to emerge from their sunken fears.
Safe from the despair of uncertainty and judgement.
Here under the water’s surface
is where one’s true self resides.
Ever growing to support the facade.
Solid, thick ice pushing
farther and farther down
You
Desperately yearning to surface.
