A FOREWARNING MOST WOULD NEVER OFFER...BUT SHOULD

I’m in a dark place in my mind. You’d do best, to keep your distance, so I don’t lash out, and wound you. I feel, an overwhelming desire do bad things, I would never intend, when I’m not so upset. I don’t want to hurt you - I never would; My personal history, indicates I will.

I’m not strong enough, to control the rage, which often swells violently within me. I’m sometimes dangerous, and I’m always immeasurably sorry. I chose to confessed this to you, with the hope, you will still love me - but, with caution. Because I am a victim of the consequences, resultant of horrific deeds, which were done to me, it doesn’t mean I am unlovable. It simply means, we both must be vigilantly watchful, and careful about how we approach and react to my demons. I know, If I can openly discuss how angry and resentful I sometimes become, without fear of your rebuke, I can strengthen my ability to control the rage which dwells within the darkest recesses of my mind.

Forcing me to hide in silence, and shame, puts us in danger.

Turning me away from your love, and compassion, fuels the darkness within.

Allowing yourself to become my victim, demonstrates your lack of love for me, as well as yourself.

Are you strong enough to love in the face of truth?

The truth doesn’t have to hurt so much.
