I feel...

...scared when the darkness falls
...hurt when others do not respect my lifestyle
...angry when my mother does not call me on my birthday
...guilty I could not support a friend when she needed me the most
...dirty from some of my past sexual experiences
...hopeless when my itching does not stop
...tired from my fear

I want...

...to sleep through a whole night
...to recognize we are all at different places in our lifes to not take things personally
...to realize my mother cannot give to me that I need to look to the universe for love
...to let go of the past I did my best in a time when I was hurting too
...to feel I am beautiful again and that I have no regrets
...to feel hopeful that my body will heal itself
...to feel the all encompassing, eternal love from the universe so that I can set myself free
