The Mirror In My Mind

   A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth. 

~Robert Frost 

While I had some time to myself today, I did what I seem to be doing a lot lately and I reflected on my past. The first thing that I realized is that there is no single person who knows about my entire life, sure people know bits and pieces, often those that they were a part of and some of the surrounding bits that had to do with the time that I spent with them. But I have never really been able to tell anyone everything about me, I've just never been able to tell someone all of the details of my past, I can't seem to let anyone in that deep, to trust them as much as I would like to. Perhaps it is because deep down I know that nothing is forever, no friendship, no life, and there is no guarantee that I can trust someone to the degree that I would have to, to let them in on who I really am. There are days when even I don't know who I really am, so who am I to tell someone else? I wonder if I will ever find that person that I can truly and completely confide in. Only time will tell.
