...See more Here is mine  Everything is blurry, nothing feels real, I Feel Nothing. Twisted harsh thoughts whispering, “You’re not enough” “no one cares” “you’re a burden” “it’s all your fault”. Tight knots controlling my instincts, molding my urges, putting a sharp chisel to my wooden instincts. Shoving my thoughts aside, replacing it with numbness and insecurity. A still puddle. Suddenly a ripple moves on the still puddle of my mind, a thought. “What do I feel?”. The whispers try to push it down “That doesn’t matter like you!”. But rather than listen to the whispers, I just watch the ripple, rambling, closing my eyes, the ripples turn to a current, then into waves. Immediately my eyes snap open, I yank that whispering mouth, grab those knots, pull them apart, shove them down the whisperer’s throat, reshaping and rearranging their voice. Instead of whispering manipulating insecurities. Now it whispers boundaries, compassion, creating values, even teaches. Turning the poison into compassion. Everything is no longer empty, It’s no longer still, I can feel. What used to be a pond is now this soft controlled tsunami of colorful thoughts. I am no longer my past, I Am Me.
