31/F when I dance and write I feel myself, its been my way home.
Remember the ground is always right there Touch it It's right there Closer than you think When your falling through oblivion Drowning in a sea of overwhelm Of unfelt, undigested feelings Remember you can put a foot out and feel the ground It's right there

Ground
Her heart hurt For all she could not express The feeling inside her Of a Phoenix Regal majestic meant for beauty For aliveness Built to rise Dancing from the flames And yet somehow trapped Unable to fly free Wings beating inside her mind Flapping for answers For the key that will unlock her

Phoenix
How many times did they feel trapped The Vestal Virgins Inside white gowns Inside patriarchal demand Inside vows of chastity Illusions of grandeur But still answerable to one priest One who could decide their fate How often did my ancestors feel trapped Unable to dance to shout to liberate the shackles I have the ability and the permission to dance and sing and shout No one will burn me I feel the need and the restriction Restriction is an illusion

No one will burn me
The deep ache That cannot be gotten rid of She must be embraced Her sweet longing For union For hungry mouths And souls that need each other Love like that- of Eros and Psyche doesn’t last in reality Soul’s can’t live with that intensity But they never forget one another Psyche and Eros Dancing together Invisible threads Weaving their story Surrendering control Opening to the mystery Feeling the sweet pull Oening beyond it Surrendering to God

I want you to love me so bad I don't want to admit this Not even to myself I don't understand it I try to push the need away It's ridiculous Why do I care if you love me or not But I do care And I feel you don't I feel you are angry at me Or worse you are disinterested in me You don't see me And that really hurts I don't know what to do Don't know how to play this game You represent mother That is becoming clear You are not my mother You do not hold my key I hold my key I can love and mother myself the way I needed Comforting my inner child Loving her, meeting her, holding her

It is painful to love you Your face Your brightness Your energy Your sensitivity Your playfulness Your aliveness Your curious questioning way of being in the world I could never get inside you Never felt you open to me fully Never felt able to open to you fully I so wanted to In *** we could I believe I am everything you could want At the station I thought you saw me Thought we were playing hide and seek Then I looked again You were chatting and laughing with the coffee girl I had your attention and then I didn't Another had it instead I felt worthless in that moment Confused and young Having to wait whilst you flirted It wasn't ok for me Unable to name my hurt Unable to grasp what I felt in that moment Ashamed and embarrassed I said nothing But inside it hurt I don't quite understand why But I recognize this place It is a familiar feeling for me with you When I email you It's often my young excitable loving care free baby that emails She wants to play To connect To be in your world To have you in hers There is a naivety in this That comes at a price It costs me emotionally It's up to me to love and care for my baby To learn to keep her safe To notice when she hurts You remain in my heart That causes some confusion Makes me wonder if I've said it all If I've been vulnerable If I've made clear the depth of what I feel May I lay it down May I trust in love Trust in my self Trust in the mystery And may I release control You are my teacher This love is a teacher A teacher in being with what I can't control Learning to live with love, loss, regret, beauty, hope and faith All of it Becoming strong enough to hold it all

Undamn the ****
There are things I cannot put into words Things about myself Feelings I feel Why are some things so tricky for me Seeing people Being with people Interactions with parents A protective shield that stops me sharing this with people A pride that says I can deal with it You won't get it Underneath a longing To be truly known
