Journeying...

*From knowing pain more than faith* *To refusing hope and whatever it brings* *To always taking doubtful steps forward* *To then have the strength to run back to the past* *To suffocating while still breathing* *To craving for peace while holding on to demons.* *From having an abusive affair with fear* *To dragging the weight of shame around town* *To being a closeted antisocial* *To desiring the power of invisibility* *To being quite jealous of the wind* *To forgetting my way back home.* *From losing my voice shouting at the moon* *To allowing some negative thoughts to bloom* *To overfeeding my gluttonous inner critic* *To then survive on anything toxic* *To take in whatever life throws* *To also aid them in magnifying my flaws.* *From denying myself everything* *To partially die while trying* *To please everyone else who ain't me* *To helping tighten their ropes around my neck* *To then find myself coiling inwardly when they point* *To finally giving up my tormented soul.* *From raising from some forgotten ashes* *To wielding fountains of crude ink* *To then refine them into heartbreaking stanzas* *To sharing their raw pain on your screens* *To keeping some away from the outside eyes* *To then become hopefully of healing self.* Thank you for visiting 😊
