Disassociation We run away from ourselves, the situation, the thinking of things that provoke us The more resilient and strong we seem The further away from the true problems we have drifted I had no idea this was where I existed Away from myself had become home and I hung pictures on the wall Lived […]
Everything that we are exists in the present moment Uncomfortable with our limitations we run Into the bottle The thin white line Of roads or drugs or shopping carts Empty boxes And empty hands Burning Ashes to ashes Dust to dust A life spent outside of ourselves is never enough When a decision is made […]
To hold the hand flat on a searing surface Would be unthinkable Unbearable Psychical pain Physical pain Are equal They both light up the same area of the brain To hold a thought, a memory, of great pain unflinchingly Is as meaningful as taking a knife to our own jugular Yet we do it Constantly […]
