I am
Not expecting
Anything
Of
Anyone
I have
Found
That with
Expectations
Comes
Disappointment
When they
Are not met
I am
Still learning
This yet...

I am
Trying
To be
Happy
Regardless
Of what others
Say, or, do
I am
Still learning
This too...

I am
Training
Myself
To be in a
Healthier state of mind
Learning this
Is taking some time...

I am
Disassociating
My thoughts
With
Anger,
Learning to stay
Away
From that danger...

I am
Swallowing
My pride
Most all
Of the time
While
Learning this
I've wanted to hide...

I am
Fearing
Letting go
Of all of the
Resentment,
And bitterness
I let grow
But, I now know
That
Learning Forgiveness
Is something I must show...

The lessons you are learning will all serve you well in the long run, I hope. I like the way you put those clean feelings into this poem! It's nice to hear you writing about yourself for a change, instead of somebody else. I hope to hear more of it.

Good Job!

I really did like this one.
