Thoughts
Waging war with my mind, its not on my side. Saturated in shame, self-righteous divide. Fighting my thinking, Step back, stay detached. Observe, don’t absorb; Respond, don’t react. I’m loosing the battle, a self-abused casualty. Avoidance and doubt Infiltrating intrusively. My mental dexterity Disintegrating identity. Sympathetic shutdown, Overwhelmed by reality. A primal protection, triggered by…

Anger
Don’t shrink to fit your anger for long. You were innocent, a child, You did nothing wrong. Sucked into a vortex, Downward spiral of shame. Don’t turn anger inwards. You’re not to blame. You grew up in fear, Sharp breath, held inside. Afraid to exhale In case he’d ignite. Fly off the handle, He lacked…

Freeze
A downward depression Energies sink low. Submerging exhaustion, Too heavy to float. Done with the editing, For self preservation. A shield from judgement and condemnation. Hopelessly drained, Numb tears run dry. Dull eyes entertain, Flat, joyless sunrise. Done with the shaming, Seeking a source. Cut off the power Of painful thoughts. Cold, calm, disconnected, Far-off,…

Yield to Overcome
Infinite timeless, effortless being. Glimpse of paradise, awareness elevating. Drinking in luxury of gifted moments. A precious pleasure, To savour empowerment. Of freedom, abandoning judgements of others. Answer to no one. We are stronger together.

Understanding
Dull ache at the temples. Painful, clenched jaw. Blank eyes, tight shoulders, Heavy hearted, withdrawn. Who is that person, The reflection I see? Unsmiling, remote. Is this really me? Stays out of the limelight, Afraid to be seen. Avoiding attention, Safer unaccompanied. To speak my story. Every word rings true.Reflected back in their eyes,“I’m sorry…

Goodbye
Few friends at the graveside, Snow blown icy face. Harsh reality of finality, Soft, salty tears, lips taste. Frozen, somber moment, All time slips away. Past losses, stark reminder, Feels as only yesterday. Emotional scars,Each loss leaves it’s mark; Pin-prick painful up close, Forever aches in the heart. For the sadness endures, Empty words cannot…

Free
Intrusive memories, Replay over and over. Tortuous rumination A twisted pleasure. To name the emotions, An indescribable gift. Hit the nail on the head, Release, feel a shift. Time travel back To each painful moment. To stop more harm, Freeze everyone present. Stand fearlessly beside Little ‘you’ that is hurting. Attune, feel resonance, In the…

I love you, but …
I love you through this difficult time. But only if your heart is open, like mine. Our wires are crossed, Knotted tightly together. Sparking, short circuit As the bond is severed. I’m here for you as you rebuild your life. But can’t hold space, for your pain and mine. What is our relationship? Boundaries are…
