@MissGremlin Thanks your support as well as your wonderful affirmation to not heed lies about ourselves but hold onto to self love surviving loveless states.

A Pit left behind
As I climb over the rim, I clearly see;
a trembling passes through what once was me:
below, without bottom, the pit still lies
an open wound beneath familiar skies.
A depth that calls without a sound,
a pull that circles, drawing down;
not distant, not elsewhere to flee
but something once alive in me.
Dark thoughts pound, not one, but many
threaded tight, accusing, heavy;
guilt and shame in woven breath,
whispering doubt, foretelling death.
Pressing, pressing, ever near,
feeding on remembered fear;
not from outside do they creep
but from the places buried deep.
And still they reach they cling, they claim
through heat, through spark, through searing flame;
my footing falters, stones give way,
old fires licking at my clay.
Why did I carry what burns so long?
Why did I call that darkness strong?
A weight once worn as part of me,
now seen for what it came to be.
Above, not distant, yet not near
a Light that neither shouts nor fears;
no force, no push, no binding claim,
yet steady still, and still the same.
