I know that it is just words,
And I know that it's just a screen,
And I know it is just a person,
And I know how what they say makes me feel.
But what I don't know,
Is how to find the words to say I'm sorry,
Or how to fix my broken pieces,
Or to fix my heart strings,
But just a stranger, calling me an angel, was enough.

To put it quite simply; it hurts.

Sincerely Em
My emotional compass is losing its gravitational pull ...

At times the direction dies still. At other times, it spins madly. 
I feel like I'm being crushed between two walls and drowned within thunder-clapping waves. Yet, on the surface of my ocean, the glass waters reflect a serene, tranquil light of the full moon hugging its night sky.   

I'm uncertain. I’m indecisive. I run away to the farthest, darkest corner of the forest. I also flee to the highest peaks and hide under sunlight. 

I'm not fearful of destruction. I'm fearful of being destructive. I tend to destruct myself by destructing the souls I cherish most. Nightmares of finding myself in abandoned emptiness haunt me. I fear being left, so I walk away. I fear being loved deeply, so I push them away. And this ... this is where I become destructive. 

I say I’m seeking peaceful stability, when truthfully...? My soul is gushing across the ends of the earth all at once. Maybe I find peace in the chaos. Maybe I just feed on chaos. 

I throw my soul into the deepest wells of love. I find myself abruptly climbing back to the surface, clawing my way up those walls. And just as I nearly reach the top, I intentionally let go of myself only to fall back in. The record breaks on replay. 

I gather myself, set the records straight then let them role into chaos once more. Once More replays itself endlessly through the space and time of my existence, and my life turns into a repetition of these "once more" chaotic events. Secret be told, I think I enjoy all of this. All so exciting and lively at that moment. Alas, dreadful at points of reality checks. Lifeless at the destination. 

So…? I gather myself and set the records straight again ...  once more ... once more, again ... and again ... 

Helpless. But wild. 
Wild. But easily tamed. 
Tamed. But cannot be owned. 

Gently handle my being. I'm too stubborn ... Even with my own self. Yet, I also feel ever so delicate and fragile. I can easily break at my own grip.

I’ll tell you how … 

It's all in the simplicities - which can also turn into complexities - found in the sun’s golden hour. Yellow rays against my skin. Illuminated dust particles dancing through my fingers. A warm whisper. That bold dive. Grab me by the extremes. 

Right now .. I think I’m coming up with a case of the blues. 
So, come … Dip me not in the rainbow, but in the *** of gold at the far end. 

Take me all the way ... The noise, it enchants me. 

Be still my heart, it’s him … Chaos.
A page of thoughts and confessions ripped out of my diary.
Sincerely, Em

****** my mind
Waste my time

Pull me close
Push me away

Walk into my life
Hastily run away

Show me you are different
Convince me that you are the same

Repair my heart
Tear it apart

I look at the dark side

I expect disappointment

I see that true colors always hide

I fear attachment

I know words always contradicts actions

I have discovered that happiness only turns into sadness

Beautiful clouds hold rain

It's a tragedy waiting to happen

The only way to be saved is to save yourself

I can't be loved if I don't love myself

I never found who I am

So how did I lose myself?

How can something so shallow create depth ?

My mindset is mindless

I have reached my limit

Now I'm boundless

I know my worth

But somehow you made me feel worthless

I was full of energy

But somehow you made me feel drained

So why do I settle for less ?

It's because I'm use to pain ...
I'm here if you need someone to talk to

All it took was one weekend
for those brown eyes to get me hooked.
I am way in over my head.

I found something magical in the light of your eyes;
It was radiant and strong,
So warm and so bright that it burned my eyes, as if I were staring at the sun itself,
But I did not turn away, I did not shade my face and hide from it.
I lurched out and grasped it, feeling its warmth on my fingertips;
For I was not afraid anymore because it was hope that I found in your eyes.

She
She, is the image of childhood boy crushes’,
Powerful in all that is her own.
She, is the definition of beauty;
Humble and unaware of her strength.
She, is the outcome of parents who love the scabs left on their skin, more than they love the very things they created.
Her eyes, that which remind me of spring, are fogged with cigarette smoke and glazed with the reality, that this, is normal.
Her mind is not occupied by gossip and ubiquitous laughter, but drowning in the thoughts of her mother;
Haunted by the question that is seeping through the hole in her soul created by the threatening gun shots of her father, “Is she even alive?”
Wanting nothing more than affection, showing it, through rejection.
She is a victim of ****** abuse, letting her fears be known by being terrified to walk hand in hand with a man.
She is eleven, and although her past is nothing but pain and misery, I know that her future is wider than the oceans in which she used to play;
Her dreams are bigger than the waves that came crashing down only to knock her over like a domino, for she has always been able to stand back up.
