pursuing the avoidant heart
I had to stop pretending this is real This illusion cost me the perspective to rebuild
Can I trust in my discernment When it causes this much confusion I thought I could see all the signs but you Chose so carefully what I can and cannot see
I trusted in my heart but tripped up I also chose not to see - I couldn't hear reality in the silence you had built to keep yourself safe
I never took the time to question anything - all the answers I just never received I just kept running towards you - projecting my own needs And somewhere in that, I left you behind I just kept running - I will take the lead But you had already turned inwards; to hurt, to heal, to grieve
I came into your life like a whirlwind You told me this is what you wanted but now I just don't know
You were not ready yet, to grow I was too absorbed in my trauma to know
I gave up comfort and safety and took a leap of love But I never quite made it to the other side Misattunement, maladjustment - a yearn for your touch A lack of boundaries creates unsafety, a lack of compromise
And it brought us to here My inner child shaking with fear An activated nervous system cannot unwind I missed all the obvious signs And so it broke me Ever so slowly
You busied yourself on the ritual of letting go We never had that conversation - how was I to know That I had lost you before you were gone Is it cathartic to accept I was wrong I wanted this so viscerally for so long It was too hard to admit I didn't belong (here)
As I process my attachments I see this trauma as mine I had hoped that you would Reach out to me in time But if there's anything I learnt from this We can't rush the healing of our self Some are frustratedly impatient Some are not ready for help
With the repatterning of trauma comes a shift in perspective I am ready to accept my mistakes Rescuing others was never part of my journey Somehow I was convinced that's what it takes
And over and over, I couldn't reach you Instead of stepping back, I insistently pushed through I tried to build us a life that we both never wanted And somehow I thought all of this was for you.
How to stop my mind from thinking and thinking and thinking...
I'm afraid to close my eyes
That is when my thoughts keep running
I am standing in front of you
Afraid to hold you and take a step
I don't know why, I don't know how.
I am afraid of what the future might be.
I wish I have the courage to open you.
To be continued......
There was a day in my life when I was feeling really downs and nothing in my immediate future looked worth living. I was all alone at the roof of my house and I made a wish to see a shooting star. I did not want to wish on a shooting star, I just wanted to see one.
5 minutes later, I saw a star passing by. I have often wondered if anyone ever listened to me; that day I found out, somebody was. I don't know who or why or what their intention was (or is, you never know), but somebody's listening in to my thoughts. It is worse than having a stalker because thoughts are sneaky and unreliable and most importantly, unconscious.
How do I get them out of my head?
What Writing Means to Me
What Writing Means to Me: To me, writing is the means, the medium, and the end. It is as nameless, formless, and transparent as water. And, a lot many things. What about you?
At first, I wanted to compose this post as a poem. But, that would mean another poem on my blog. And, I have had a little too many poems on my blog within the last one year. This, in one way, diverges from the original contemplation on writing. But, wait. I don’t wish to begin this post with a negative thought. That’s is how much writing means to me.
My writing is my ambassador to you. It means…

Flow of thought
I don’t hate my self.
I don’t hate my body.
But there are many things I don’t like.
Examples: my weight, stomach, back..
I do like my hair, my eyes, my face, my ass
Things I’ve accepted about me - my thighs.
I’ve always been a bigger girl. Never been skinny in anyway. I don’t know what it’s like to be skinny..
I don’t want to be skinny.
Yes I want to lose weight. But I don’t want to be a size zero. I don’t wanna be 150lbs.
I want to rid my body of my stomach pouch, I want my back to be...
I want my nails to be longer
I feel conflicted. I want to be a confident strong woman. But I also want to feel like I’m not fat.
What if during the day I eat only healthy things, and drink all the water... and then at night I enjoy food with my boyfriend.
But I love food. I just want to eat all the foods.
Like right now. I want porkchops. Or tacos. Or spaghetti and meat sauce. Or salmon. Or chicken and rice.
I just want to eat it all. It’s so delicious.
Ive realized without someone else it’s like I have no control over myself.
Like going to bed at a good time, eating decent food, not over eating..
I’m better with someone.
