So many feelings unleashed
stagnance must come to cease
Trauma triggers;
hell, it figures...
because the life we’re living,
constantly overwhelming.
Stored emotional warfare,
Seems so ******* unfair.
but, what did they come up for?
There always seems to be more
than what's on the surface
that's making me nervous
and angry, I know,
because I've been at that all time low
and that's not where I ever want to go
back to again:
so unconscious
feeling nauseous
heart is racing
mind is pacing
blood is pumping
Mind is pounding
I need to get away.
how can this be okay?
*******, I just want it to stop
It takes control
of body, mind and soul
but, wait…
there's emerging resilience
overtaking this pestilence
reminding me that I am strong
even when everything seems so wrong
and although I may be afraid
that doesn't make me any less brave.
Courage is contagious in of itself;
when it gets rolling,
everything begins flowing.
My current finds
is that trauma reminds
me to look back inside
the whole picture of what's going on
breaking through the storm
even when my psyche’s torn...
that's the hardest part,
and then I press restart.
There will always be a flame Within
and that small light is where life begins.
when it's dim,
give it oxygen
and it will glow
increasingly so...
it may start out slow
but give it time with patience
the emerging resilience,
the white and gold
illuminate so bold
the inner body.
it'll be okay...
maybe it won't feel like it today
but you'll find a way
to press on
through the tears, through the pain
Through the sunshine and the rain.
gather where the elements meet,
feeling the Earth beneath your feet -
so sacred and grounding
the love that's surrounding
it will come in abundance
with no resistance
the weight will again shed,
my dear friend.
No longer will it depend on what you’ve been fed
And how to God you were once led,
As the Spirit descends
And your mind, it transcends
The light on your face
Is exuberant with grace.
So take a deep breath,
Because one day death
Will coming knocking on your door
And you’ll finally find what this was all for.
