(not un)derstood

You can see me.
I look happy.
What you don't know
is that I hurt.
I need a human touch,
but at the same time
can't handle closeness.

I cried myself to sleep again last night.

This is something that I struggle with too. I just thought I'd send your way a quote by Oswald Chambers which gives me a vision to become more focused on Christ. It'll be along and hard journey, but oh!- so worth it...

By realizing the reality of Christ within us, we are never bothered again by the fact that we do not understand ourselves, or that other people do not understand us. The only One who truly understands me is the One who made me and who redeems me...It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of every kind of self-consideration and learn to care about only one thing- the relationship between Christ and ourselves." ~ Oswald Chambers
