the product of looking beneath the surface

your partner
is a reflection
of your self worth
how they interact with you
is a mirror to the tolerance you have with yourself
to the grace you bestow upon your being
the way they treat you
is an echo
to the way you treat yourself
to the way you allow certain behaviors to be accepted
your partner
is a reflection
of the love that you think you deserve
make sure it is one of substance
one of unconditional love
filled with patience grace and fluidity

those that we surround ourselves with are reflections of our inner worlds that we have with ourselves. we have the ability to see and understand more clearly ourselves through those that we surround ourselves with. so, how much grace do you hold for yourself? do you blindly accept abuse, or do you echo a loving radiance to yourself?

why should I apologize
for being a monster
when no one apologized
for turning me into one

beware of assumptions

Sometimes I laugh under my breath
When I am around those
That think they know me
If only they read some of my poems
Would they be shocked
By how much they actually don’t know

I love poetry and a site like this where essentially I can write whatever I want and people are so open to receiving my message whether that be one of sinful lust, morbid curiosity, or deep sorrow that comes in the symbolic form. So, thank you Hello Poetry community for your openness and ability to see a less filtered version of me.

it’s okay to cry

Would you tell a child
That is crying
To **** it up
Or to stop crying
No?
Then when your inner child
Comes out from its shadows within you
And starts crying
Allow them to
Don’t stop the process
Allow the inner child
To heal
To tend the wound that wasn’t drained
Of suppressed emotions
When you were younger
And didn’t have the knowledge
That you have today

everyone is an addict

I believe all of us are addicts
to dopamine
our brain is wired that way
but when we think of “addicts”
it is almost as if we have separated ourselves from “them”
when we truly aren't that far away from one another
we forget to ask the question of why
why are they addicts
It’s possible that
life became too difficult to manage
the body found a way to stimulate the mind in such a manner
that it either numbed the constant pain
they experience when sober
or provided euphoric bliss
to a chronic state of numbness
