Self Searching

in selfsearching •  7 years ago 

I shine like some shooting stars
As I drag my invisible shackles around.
Mentally imprisoned by my toxic thoughts
And the unending expectations of men.

I feel my angry bones crack
Under the pressure of my bitterness...
Before I am granulated to skeleton debris
Within my dying soul.

Regulate your tone while you talk to me...
My essence was once mishandled by a negative voice.
It's evaporating grip kept my truth in dungeons.
Hidden from a soul that can take it as a life lesson.

I felt ashamed of my own flaws
Yet they are what makes me human.

I believe scars tell the best version of who I am.
The visible ones and those that don't really show.
Each imprinted where it is during depressing times.
Making.
All these bad and even a little bit shameful experiences,
Some interestingly good for life lessons.

Very powerful poetry. I identify with the struggle against bitterness resulting of poor treatment from men I mistook their attention for love.

As I drag my invisible shackles around.
Mentally imprisoned by my toxic thoughts.

When we reach a place like this:

I believe scars tell the best version of who I am.

We come to a deeper level of ourselves. I learned a new sense of self awareness which came as a gift once veiled in self accusations.
Well written.

Oddly, it doesn't matter where you are in the universe if it's happening to you, there's a probability it has happened to another completely different soul somewhere. We are linked through what we go through and our feelings towards it all. Thank you for coming by :)

Yes, I love how I can enter into the intimate discourse of another by their shared experience. You have an amazing ability to communicate your experiences. hugs!

Too humbled! Yes hugs :)
