Sea of Faces #3

That feeling.


Have you ever felt it?


Being in the midst of people yet have no one to cling on to.

Bombarded with life's difficulties yet unsure if sharing it to others
would make things easier or would only burden them.

Each has their own problems to solve.

Would I rather share it and burden them more
or keep it to myself and deal with it alone?


My answer has always been to keep it.


Being shared with problems is not an issue to me,
but me burdening others? That's different.

Call me selfish for that reason, I don't mind. :)


Am I that important where people would listen to what I have to say?

Am I that special where people would set their problems aside and worry about mine instead?

_____________________

Ah, silly, silly thoughts.
My friends will be there for me, they've always been there.
It's just that certain situations occur and can't help of things like these.

If my friends presence and willingness to help/listen would still be overcome
by my minds' stubborness to open up and share,
there's a song that always reminds me of one thing:

Someone up there is still around.

That Someone believes I was worth trading His life for in spite of my flaws.
Solves everything.


pause 'the song' up there
and
Listen:

Sea of Faces - Kutless





I am not just a man vastly lost in this world
Lost in a sea of faces
Because He traded His life for mine

Comforting. :)

A Listening Ear #1

"What is your best asset?"

Countless times have pageants asked this question.
I didn't really care.
Never did I imagine myself being asked by this question anyway.
But here I am now, experiencing the same distress as the contestants
while thinking of the answer to the question.

What is my best asset then?

I'm full of liabilities.
Having that in mind, I never thought I'd have one best asset.
But after days of pondering, I arrived at an answer.

My ability of lending an ear to anyone who needs it is an asset, I guess.
People can share their problems to me without worrying I'd spill anything out.
They can pour their hearts to me and can rest assured that I'm all ears.

I understand and believe that people talk about their problems
to the one's they trust.
I respect that. I don't betray people who trust me.

I lack the ability of saying comforting words
to a downhearted person but I can always listen.

It is the one thing I think I do best, LISTENING.

I listen to understand.

I listen to ease one's pain.

I DON'T TALK, I LISTEN. :)
