Not feeling like uttering a single word
Not feeling like knocking down doors
Not feeling
Dense clouds roll down, call it healing
Can't find middle ground, polar magnets are opposite.
Golden heart, Don't bother it.
Disconnected to my heart and head. Much like being dead.
No skill involved, just a way of life. Rolling with the emptiness.
Black holes coming from all directions.
Fucking my mind with no protection.
I never want to do this again.
Tired of leaving my body to find peace.
Humbled by these walls I've built.
Never leaving these walls again.
Too many questions to answer you.
My time is short, not unstoppable.
Just hard to create beauty when I don't feel anything less than exhausted.
Another lie I tell myself with this abundance of wealth I keep on the shelf,
as if I could ever keep it for myself.
Release the tension, pause for good measure.
There's a thin line between pain and pleasure.
Borderline thoughts watch me split in half.
Two world's apart, another fork in the path.
Open your eyes and see there's no path to be found.
Burn the body to which you are bound.
No pain no gain is a simple way to put it.
Burn the body
and by that I mean use it.
Manifestation of truth is in the way you carry yourself.
No reason to fret, now that's bad for your health.
Perfection is not wealth it's a point of view.
Perfection is what I see when I look at you.
With your squiggle tooth and your squinty eyes.
There's even perfection in all of your lies.
Do or do not, there are no tries.
So burn the body and gain the wise.
Your own thoughts will be your demise.
Thanks for reading! Yet another post from my phone since I can't find the laptop. Bare with me, I guess free verse it is for now. One love and namaste all the way, peace 🌸

incredibly thought provoking piece, @staceyjean, certainly warranting all the wonderful spacial and destructive imagery you have used to pull your writing here into a powerful message.
as you so brilliantly, pose it would seem our attachment to our physical selves so often interferes with our ability to step outside or immediate surroundings, problems or life in general.
you've done a great job in showing the importance of what leaving the body behind can do to free the mind through your writing here, Stacey, well crafted.

I always enjoy reading your comments! Thanks so much for absorbing my words and picking up what I've put down here 🌸 it's great to see where everyone's mind goes once they've read one of my pieces. It really is the most valuable input when I see some of my after thoughts reflected back to me from a fellow steemian as
well as additional perspective, Like two people marveling at a painting. 😊 ✨

That was awesome free verse... I can understand these emotions. I have been down this path now and again. Life has a way of throwing curve ball and pushing this down in the trenches. Great job expressing deep emotion.

Thank you @wandrnrose7 ! I had this sitting in the editing phase for a couple days, added to it then pressed post. Free verse is how I naturally flow so deeper emotions come out. I'm a fan of your work and really appreciate the compliment
