Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
I've just had an elaborate, detailed and overwhelmingly truthful conversation with myself. Which was triggered bye the events of this afternoon. It's stems back into my early life and most early thoughts of 'something being not quite right ' and possibly lies at the root cause of my mental problems.
Before my uncle died. He told me some stuff which directed me toward believing that what lay at the foundation of my mental problems be true and correct. And i honestly shut it out and didn't wanna know about it. As if the truth came out I would of had to recalobreate my entire understanding of my life story and my current life circumstances. And every hardship and heartache i have ever experienced would come into a much clearer prospective.
One thing i cannot do... that is raise my hand and admit to another persons wrong deeds and be repentant for them. I cannot be responsible for their wrong deeds. And i cannot be held accountable for another persons wrong deeds. (Or try to make amends for these wrong deeds ) However I can sit back and watch someone live a life of denial. And yes indeed it is oh so very frustrating to be on the receiving end of this scenario.

Slowly slowly
the rake leaves lines in the dirt
slowly slowly
the spade takes a chunk out of the earth
slowly slowly
the pick crushes into hard ground
slowly slowly
i realise I am the soil
soil left bare
soil left to dry
soil left to die

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
Words unspoken
To many dreams broken
Locked inside my silent screams
Thoughts swirling inside my head
Nothing can be said
Lost in thought
Crystal clear
Deepest secrets
No one will ever hear
There are no anchors
To hold me safe
My world keeps moving
I can't keep pace

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
As tears roll down her cheeks
She sits there in silence and listens too the sound of her own heart beat.
She has a great emotional pain that she can no longer bare,
She wants to pull it out at the core but it is buried too deep
The more she digs up the deeper it falls
And now she can handle it no more
She just wants to end it all

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
When you realise
you’ve been here before
abandoned and alone
dealing with demons
dealing with pain
dealing with loss
dealing with war
dealing with life
numbing the world
so nothing hurts
when you realise
you’re back where you were
dealing with demons
dealing with pain
numbing the world
and everything hurts
run away
fast and slow
run away
find your way
through the maze
don’t get lost
don’t get tempted
stay on your way
but this time
i will understand
if you drown
tired of keeping up
tired of trying
and let you go
where you want to be
i wish you strength
i wish you courage
to make the choice
that’s yours to make
