what on earth is going on
to make this feeling surface again
pushed it back for so long
but to the surface it madly spins
so much strength to carry on like this
the flood gates are opening within
so numb nothing hurts
even where the flame turns blue
the courage to hold your heart outside
everyone can see all the scars
the relief of honesty
the walls tumbling tumbling
falling
crashing
relief
what on earth is going on
to see all these images again
learning how to feel
how to exhale the pain
how to embrace the joy
how the heart can be opened to capture everything at once
not running away but standing still
there’s more courage in healing
and feeling for once
have it all piercing the soul
what on earth is going on
just emotions
take a breath and dive in
what on earth

Oh, the places I go…
Just emotions. Don’t say “just.” It took me 35 years and a really good therapist to acknowledge my feels existed. Great poem, beckeleh.
powerful imaginary.
at times, we need a rest so that energy recharges.
keep sharing poetry.
“take a breath and dive in”
that’s what we’ve gotta do… if we’re brave enough!
