what are you hiding?

we are all hiding behind something... I hide behind the past.. the things that happened to me cause me to run any time anyone or any thing gets near to my true self.. any time someone might be able to see the real me, it's time to go... and I don't even have to go anywhere to leave someone... I just shut them out... while this is my greatest strength and greatest protection, it is also my greatest weakness... I made a promise to God this morning that I would not run... I will keep my heart open to the one I have shown vulnerablity... I might quit talking, but I will not shut my heart down... and the thing that you hide... probably won't scare me the way you think it will.... I have seen it all... trust me on that one... honesty is what is needed... I can deal with what you hide, you just have to be willing to let me know what it is... what is it you are hiding behind??? if I really love you... I will love you anyways...
