Nothingness
Feeling nothing – not upset or annoyed. Subsiding into numbness, all-consuming void. Nothing to say, no words to soothe. Mind, a blank, muffles the truth. Being nothing – remaining inert because doing anything takes too much effort. Drifting in nothingness here to stay where nothing can reach me now go away

Holding
Holding tightly, tensed emotions; Feeling unsafe, fearing exposure. Hold it all in, invisible chains; muscle memories, bound in shame. Holding others at arms distance; Don’t come close. Fight inner resistance. Hold it together, can’t fall apart. No reprieve, constricts the heart. Hold your tongue. Silence your voice. Stagnant secrets, costly choice. Holding back, quietly reserved.…

Observe, don’t absorb the energies around you. Take some time to protect yourself. Stay grounded and mindful of your own actions. Set an example for everyone…

The Edge
Pause, Up close, At the edge of time. Stillness. Imagine a hand reach for mine. Soft kiss on the cheek, A scent comes to mind. Tugs my heart, a spirit to guide. Freeze this moment, This in between Heaven and earth, Seen and unseen. The before and after, what was, now a dream. Over and…

Weight of Silence
There’s things I can’t say in polite conversation. Holding back truth prolongs separation. But the risks of naming are all too clear, So I hold it all in and live with the fear. There’s things I don’t say for fear of judgement. What will they think if I disclose my resentment. They had it so…
