Blistered Heart

Blistered Heart

Poem 8

 

This pain is loud and very much alive.

I wish I could say I know not where it comes from.

But, I can’t. It’s made itself quite obvious.

I wish it would just let me go numb.

 

I know what it is. It’s the rock hard fist of reality.

Reminding me that it was me that made a decision.

One that needs to be followed through all the way.

Giving me absolute reason and leaving me with nothing to say.

 

Is my world falling apart?

Or is it just following the rhythm of this blistered heart?

I don’t like having to make tough decisions.

But, neither does anybody else that I’m aware of.

 

The Universe tells me the time to move on has come.

It tells me I’ll have the support that I’ll need.

So why must I still bleed?

Hardships said to be coming my way.

 

Only is it me that sees them only as an illusion.

A reflection of growing into the future self.

For a being that lives in the sunlight of the Now.

A reflection such as that is hard to swallow.

 

But it is the way of making this being more secure.

Secure in finally being my own person.

It is to the stars that I pray.

Pray for the strength to face this new vision that’s not so far away.

 

My time has come. My time is here.

To fulfill my own prophecy.

The one I’ve ran from. The one that has fed into my fear.

Burying myself so deep into the darkest of my shadow.

 

A claim to the energies of something chaotic.

No I must embrace them.

May the flame again rise in me.

Revitalizing this heart so blistered.
