Being honest with yourself

 

If you have a deep fear of being alone,
you'll betray yourself over and over again...

You'll go blind when you're afraid to see the truth.
You'll go deaf when someone hurts you with their words.
You'll lie to yourself so because you don't like the truth.
You'll play it small so no one feels threatened.
You'll ignore your inner voice, choosing ignorance instead. 
You'll hurt yourself rather than risk upsetting someone else.
You'll long for more, but will be paralyzed by self-doubt.
You'll waste your life living for others rather than yourself.
