Feeling my feelings
Catch myself hiding, am I really okay? Notice emotions, too scared to say. Fear of my feelings holds them at bay; denigrate and deny, wish they’d all go away. When talking with people, put the focus on them. Avoid facing emotions, ignoring overwhelm. Unfamiliar feelings, inability to name. Keep forcing down, compartmentalize shame. Avoidance and…

New Meaning
Do you really listen to the words that you hear? Are you paying attention, is the meaning clear? Does the mind rush ahead, a reply at the ready? Let each sentence be absorbed, metabolized slowly. Do I really listen to thoughts as they’re spoken? A struggle to make meaning when the filter is broken. So…

Overwhelm
Overwhelmed by thoughts. Unfocused. Distraught. Can’t do what ought to be easy. Drowning in emotion. Paralyzed. Frozen. Invisibly broken, soul destroying. Overwhelmed by feelings, Once repressed, now revealing. Can’t mask or make meaning to soothe. Crushed by life. Head locked in a vice. Is this the price of truth?

Curiosity
Delve deep in my memory, beyond the limits of recall. What have I forgotten, paid no heed to at all? As energies surface, float into awareness. A dreamscape, as elusive as a whispering caress.

To welcome the future with excitement and anticipation; honour the past with ceremony and celebration. Truly a gift to those that know. Use it wisely.

Keeper of the Key
Brave little girl, sits still on the couch. Hears arguments and cries, Dad’s angry voice, Mum’s distant distress, amplified by the baby. Dad locks the bedroom door, hands her the key. Brave little girl, sits with the key. Hears mums cries mixed with baby’s. Frozen in place, holding the key. Too scared to move, until…

Ghosting
I saw your message I knew you’d reached out. I wanted to answer but was paralyzed by doubt. What do I say? no words within reach. I feel hypocritical – not practicing what I preach. In my head I’ve answered a hundred times. Lines never sent, it never felt right. Confusing thoughts, uncomfortable feelings, Churning…
