Journey

There's so much damage done underneath the surface.
Like a wasteland overflowing with hatred and confusion, collected over years of self destruction 
This is something I must face. 
Stirring inside is a war of emotion that I feed daily and like the most delicate flower, I wilt. 
Falling slowly to the floor
I'm a tear stained petal dressed in the shade sorrow.
Disconnected from the base of the flower
Much like I am from reality.
And it hurts. 
How did I become this way?
You can't fix me
Neither can I 
Moments like these make me question why I choose to remain sober.  
The complexity of my mind sends my senses into overdrive. 
Anxiety and anger are inseparable
One doesn't show up without the other
They peacefully co-exist so that I may suffer while I exist. 
My chest screams in between excessive beats. 
This must be hell.
I want to dig out my heart and start all over. 
I have this urge to rid myself of all the toxic habit growing inside. 
It seems the only way to heal is to peel back the layers and reflect upon why I feel this way.
Day after day, I have lived without really being alive. 
Walking around without the idea that there is more to all of this. 
Maybe all this inner turmoil is just a road I have to take to awaken my soul and start my journey.

I'm a tear stained petal dressed in the shade sorrow. So delicately sad but holds so much beauty. Wonderful piece Jordyn and very relatable

Just the written words alone are a release. As the living beasts in our mind awake, find the words to how they make you feel and they will go back to sleep. There may be some painful waves, one day you will wake and wonder where they have gone in the deep ocean of thought. Strings that no longer bind you. set your focus on the highest, and find love through your family and friends. And most important of all, allow yourself to love yourself.


Peace

Jordyn we are all on a journey. We can begin that journey of sobriety at any time, even with a blip, being sober 6 months has literally saved my life. I feel a different person, I have to face myself and my truths and its painful sometimes, but we move on, we let go, we heal, you are so right when you say we cannot expect another to fix us, we have to heal but we can allow another to love us, with our scars and all. I loved this poem. Keep writing.
