Sometimes we’re stripped of everything we thought had once defined us…
We feel defeated, alone, battered, destroyed…
We see this empty barren vessel…
That is no longer complete…
What we fail to realize is the turn around
The breaking
The awakening
The process is slow
Yet we rush it
For such a time as this
We grow, we flourish, we thrive🌳
Feelings are not my friend
Flooding my soul are the thoughts
Swirling & twisting around my heart
Squeezing so tightly I feel the air leave
Questioning this new found freedom
So fleeting
Does it only last for a time
Will it always be like this
Am I a hypocrite
Can I ever fully walk away
The days will accumulate but new days are coming
What to expect is crushing
What am I truly so afraid of
Why is that last brick holding on
Why have you not smashed to the floor
Just let me go
Let me be released from any & all reminders
Show me that it’s okay
Tear away the guilt that plagues my soul
Rid me of this hatred that eats away at my bones
For years I hid in darkness
I took apart the very own pieces of my soul
The light that magnified my being was snuffed out
A steady stream of flickering until all light was gone
I held in my hands the source of my energy but continued to falter at putting the pieces back together
a piece of my childhood has come to an end
slowly i have watched the demolition
each day i drive by & it is whittled down to nothing
it has been a slow process
as i round the curve every morning i am taken aback
one pillar remains
a piece of my life has been taken away
through lenses i viewed the destruction
i continued to go around in circles
climbing back in only to find emptiness
as i reach the end i am breathless
one pillar remains
this piece of my childhood, a school
while it is just a building, the process is symbolic
freedom awaits me
the presence is strong
the bricks have crumbled as I have allowed my soul to heal
but yet one pillar remains
i look Out i see the darkness i wonder what it would be like to just step out into that darkness to be weighted down in a different way to...
