Description
Giving up is never an option.
It's always scary to face your self,
to truly see with inner eye
and achieve self-assessment
without self-obsession,
to become who you really want to be
but think that you are not.
Emotions defy understanding.
They fill a different space
and are the source
of much creativity,
but all too often
you allow your self
to become their slave.
Feel the emotions,
don't fear them.
Let them happen,
tame them, liberate them,
write paint sing about them
until they let you be.
Healing is a slow process.
Anger shuts out joy.
Tears release but do not soothe -
a rain of draining fear.
You can stop it
by learning to be
without expectation
of your self.
Find who you are
every time you
exercise your creativity
or give of yourself.
Run ahead of the wind
to the source of the glow,
the source of the smile,
and let the clamour subside.
Listen to the inner silence
that unleashes the power
of true communication,
compassion and creativity.

Very profound. And hit home hard. I create to remember, and to forget. A very delicate balance. The smile eludes me as does the light. Thanks for the words. Beautiful flame too.
