don’t look down or back

Mistaken
I always believe the truth in the wrong moments.
Mentally giving credit where it isn’t due.
Pre-applauding greatness, only to have it yield mediocrity.
A momentary gain of security, a lifetime of confusion.
Hanging on by a thread.
Stabilized
Pushed over the edge.
Waves of emotions coursing.
Tears flow unlocking the deep hurts.
Loud yells projected to match the pain.
Feelings challenged. Resolutions sought. This torture ends now.
Distancing from the anger, the fear and the abysmal. Letting it go.
Choosing peace, choosing harmony, choosing growth.
Deep relaxation and openness stage a presence.
Self-soothed in this self-connection.
Manifesting healing.
Shattering The Hold
Intensity laced with lunacy, it’s seductively subliminal.
Past hurt swept away by the look masquerading as deeply in love.
It’s not love.
It’s danger.
And it easily has you.
If you are not careful.
Psychological warfare playing out in the depths of your mind.
Don’t be deceived by the charm of the snakes, the force of the demanding ones
or the egos of those where clever observation never occurs.
They will hurt you.
Maybe not right away, but they will.
Maybe not right away, but they will.
The scars of learning are deep and never healing.
See it before it gets a hold of you.
Unobstrusive
I stayed in the background letting you take center stage.
It’s what you needed.
It’s what I thought you wanted.
It’s what I thought I should do.
My needs took second fiddle.
They weren’t that important.
I was wrong.
You dick.
I Became
That gaze lightened my heaviness.
Those eyes told me I was safe.
Tender forcefulness reached in
and unearthed me from
the hardened layers of
self-imposed eradication.
You found out who I was
and loved me anyway.
Years of destruction erased.
You easily removed all the layers of my shame.
I felt unafraid in your embrace.
My hard callouses protected me,
you smoothed them out with your touch.
My bleeding open wounds
stitched up by your love.
I was healing.
I recovered.
I became sane.
Motion
Going towards
Health, well-being, and stability
Limbs are in motion to remain in the game.
Emotions challenge us to rise above the harm.
Intellect seeks progress to keep moving forward.
Falling backward
Illness, misery, and chaos
Physical wavering, awaiting our fate.
Succumbing to feelings, oppressed into inaction.
Intelligence unable to keep up, a free-for-all ensuing.
Which direction are you going?
Hesitating
Cravenly holding on when both should be letting go.
It will get better.
Struggling, wishing for the scenarios of rosier times.
Hoping it gets better.
Reality churns out a present of mediocre.
It’s not getting better.
Feeling panic and sadness, a demise is imminent.
It must get better!
Fade to black…
Now, I’ll get better.
Face On
Confessions of a young woman
Sometimes I look at myself through the eyes of a stranger. Who I see is not the person I am. Merely a representation of all that other people want me to be. I try to make the world around me believe a different reality, the self-deception is excruciating sometimes, and exhausting. The real me is revolting just under the surface, but to the world around me, all is calm. What keeps this façade in place is the fact that no one cares about me. I know that for a fact. Sometimes I don’t even want to know who I am. It’s bad enough having to live with myself every day. Experiencing the joy of discovery and understanding real joy is a momentary feeling. There are hiccups of excitement coming from my stomach up into my throat when I allow myself to have that sensation of everything’s all right, and I’m all good with me. Sadly, it fades quickly. Who is allowed to entitle themselves to a speck of happiness? Nah, that’s just something you’re not allowed to experience, I say to myself.
Will it always be like this?
Chronic Deceit
You mendacious man!
Habitual disrespect!
I’m done! No more lies!
