As we only show
As much
As we want
Others to know
Smiles and frowns
Turn off and on
Like faucets
Running hot and cold
As for what actually
Lumbers around
The subconscious side
Of our minds ...
Only the Shadow knows
The depths
Of our emotions
For sure
How doth I know
This to be true?
I've come
To understand
The various ways in which
Denial hides
The depths of one's misery
From our very own eyes
You see
Within the subconscious
Exists a well
So dark and deep
That you and I
Have no clue
As to which emotions we've locked up
Until one day that well runneth over
At such time as
MY well of misery ...
Secreted away deep within
The dark side of my mind
Poured out from my eyes ...
I came to peer into
The window of my soul
As to how I know
All of this to be true ...
Well I've sought to understand
Lots about that well
Within which Denial
Stores misery
Too dark and deep
To reach and feel
As the Shadow Mind
Exists within us all
You and I are hard wired
To have no clue
As to how much unhappiness
We keep locked up
Inside
Ourselves
So if
Thee yearns
To reach
Unreachable stars
Which thee hath longed
To embrace
More mindfully
Than ever before
Please
Stop
Pointing
The fickle finger of blame
And look more deeply
Within
Thyself
Again and again
And if thee
Is startled
To find
A stranger
lurking inside
Whom thee
Hath not yet met
Do not fret
Upon
Embracing
This stranger
Thou shalt be
More whole
Than
Ever
Before
And here
Is why
That too
Is true:
Two sides
Of human nature
Exist within
Us all—RR&R
We're pots
We're kettles
We're birds of a feather
And as life is short
And time's awastin'—
Let's take a magic carpet ride
To the Land of Insight—
Together—tout suite
DENY! DENY! DENY!
Remain stuck in the dark
Stuffing emotion behind walls of false pride ...
Or
Embrace yourself as a WHOLE
and
SOAR AS NEVER BEFORE!
Your friend,
:-) Annie
