#101 Avoidance

courtesy: searchcio.techtarget.com

Uncomfortable...

Trying to evade

the conception

of any experience

that would have him feel this way

jumping through events

not finishing

what he had begun

reveling yet mourning through

the loss of what he should have done.

Ignorance

exonerates

so he thought...

But what he didn’t know

is that ignorance

would also

keep him where he’s at

and stop his progress

to where he ought to go.

#94 Her Descent

courtesy: Wordpress Blog Random_Michelle

Contorted notions

of dreams

trapped underwater

bent at the knees

tears all dried up

as stones

bound in the chest

where monsters emerge

bursting forth from unrest

desperate to break free

from this cycle becoming undone

reaching for words spoken

that were meant to be sung

falling

to a floor of recesses

damaged yet new

streams of designs

Unleashed

shrouded in light blues

Falling apart at the seams

Along the path of 

unraveling thread

of delayed desires

that pull downwards

enabling the demise

responsible for her descent.

#69 For Fear of Solitude

courtesy: Serhat Demiroglu

Why this fear

of facing yourself?

being alone...

for once,

without the company of

any 

one 

else.

Why this fear

of being hidden away

in a place where you can consider

your thoughts, your actions

and the words you constantly

say...

Speaking over yourself

speaking over your family

speaking over your friends

speaking over the issues

you’ve created that extends

into the dome that

rests on a ceiling you constructed

where every distraction

lies in between

the image you’ve made

and the person you are 

interested in becoming...

Why are you afraid

of being along with 

your own thoughts?

Are you uncomfortable

with the person you are?

Be.

Still.

Enjoy the awareness of you

and if you don’t...

then

look deeper

though uncomfortable,

to see what 

can be changed

so that you do.

Don’t hide behind

the noise of meaningless

conversations,

social events

that offer no type of solutions

but just distractions 

to keep 

you occupied,

busy lights and voices

that distracts from the

substance that lies on the inside.

Become acquainted with your being.

What have you been using

voluntarily

to prevent you from seeing

into the space where you would meet

yourself for the first time.

Voluntarily blind-

voluntarily living a lie.

maybe if you got to know

who looks back at you, you would

stop all this senseless running

and 

.halt.

Right here;

in this place

where these questions

now listen.

For your reply.
