Introduction This poem is a follow up to a few of my recent posts (Choosing consciously, and Being while doing) about living more consciously and being aware of my life as I’m living it.

Choosing consciously
May this poem inspire you to be kinder to yourself while making healthy and conscious choices! Big hugs!
Missing myself
I wrote this poem on February 14, 2019. I remember those days of missing myself, and I still sometimes feel that, although it has a different feeling lately. Like I’ve been missing only certain parts of me that I’m still reclaiming, like my power. I am sharing it with the hope that it inspires anyoneContinue reading “Missing myself”
Lightning and thunder
Lightning and thunder – a poem These are new feelings for me Crackling and burning under the surface of my skin Anger and rage wanting to burst out through every aspect of my body Exhausted at myself for all the limiting ways I have been relating to life For all the power and strength thatContinue reading “Lightning and thunder”

I remember itWalking through life emptyA shell of myselfWith no hope for life to be any different I remember the terrible loneliness The sense that everyone else had it figured out but meThe longing to have a purpose and an existence greater than the numbnessBut thinking that was reserved for others I have felt thisContinue reading “Numb”

It was through writing this poem and a few others that I realized I was resenting my “humanness” and was trying to rise above it. As I wrote thisContinue reading “My humanness is divine”

As I wrote it, it felt very sad and angry. As I kept writing, I felt like my shattered innocence was giving me aContinue reading “Shattered Innocence”
At the end
At the end – a poem At the end I am emptied out I am numb I am a shell of myself Is this bad? Is this the true end? Or is this the end of who I used to be? Of how I used to relate to the world? All of this death, theseContinue reading “At the end”
Reaching in, Reaching out
Reaching in, reaching out I see an image of me reaching in. Reaching inwards to the depths of my being, reaching to find myself. I feel myself stirring, awakening and stretching. I hear the giant yawn that slowly turns into a growl, then grows louder And louder Until it roars with the joy of itsContinue reading “Reaching in, Reaching out”
