I
resist
I
order it
To
cease and desist
Yet...
It
chooses to persist
A
sharp jab
Knifing
through
Piercing
Twisting
Writhing
Within
this hollow shell
My
abode
This
palace of cards
Agonizing
shards
This
pent-up hell
At
some point I thought
It
would surely halt
But it
grew with an aching onslaught
Suffering
mode on default
Until
I decided
To be
true and begin
To
explore why it resided
So
deep within
A dull
ache persistent
A
heavy heart insistent
I
search and examine
Is
there deep rooted anger
Underneath
this pain?
Angst
like a dagger
I'm
choosing to retain?
So
much to explain
So
much to gain
Some
demons to slain
Oh
heart!
Thee
to train
That
it is okay
To
display
To
bare and to share
To
wake mySelf aware
To find my own way
To let
the eyes brim
Over,
to wash
Away
hurts I want to stash
Allow
the aching to dim
To let
go, surrender
In the
arms of my seraphim
Sometimes
there's
Solace
in solitude
Though
often I find
When
I'm willing to be kind
Enough
to myself
To
embrace Love
Freely
offered
To
dissolve this outer shell
To let
my nakedness spell
Out my
vulnerabilities
My
heart does remind
All is
wholly aligned
Through
this Holy Immersion
I
reach the inevitable inversion
To
equanimity
To the
eventual
Evaporation
Of
Emotion
