Poem: Connection

starts with connecting with oneself

Connection

A glimpse of a human eye touches my soul,
hooks under the surface and does not let go

Peeling onion's layers to reach the tears,
searching for myself under clutter of someone else's fears

Although lonely I hate to feel,
only alone I can deal 

The connection, the beauty, the charm
The guard of anxiety protecting from harm

I realised, rather than forming a shield, 
I let them emotions wash over me and slowly leave

Allowing myself to connect when I please,
I learned to find balance in my own means 

Understanding boundaries, magic of permission
Respect myself before submission 

Love the world and allow the world to love you back
When including everyone, remember to include yourself.
