Sensations of painful loss emerge
If asked to describe the difference between painful loss
Which does not wain and growing pains, here is what I'd say:
Whereas pain that does not wain remains blind to insight
Growing pains hold onto hope while questing for insight into clarity
Whereas the first points fingers of blame at others for on-going pain
The second works to identify perceptions in need of expansion
Though the first loses hope and remains stuck in a bad place
The second focuses upon re-adjusting attitudes in need of change
The crux of the conflict remains stuck inside a tightly lidded jar
An open mind unlids its jar and welcomes knowledge to fly in
When the lid on insight is stuck, pain misperceives friends as foe
Growing pains need no villains to blame... just help to understand the maze
As always
Choice of attitude, negative or positively focused, is up to ... You
Door number one
Or Door number two ...
*Stay stuck in a dark maze made up of solid, defensive walls
*Or invite insights to dance through your mind
Wear smiling persona in public, weep, unmasked in private
Or smile from the inside out as clarity inspires inner peace
Deny the fact that our brains keep secrets from us
Remember that the little we know is not all there is to know
Defense mechanisms draw this mind ever more deeply into the maze
Accepts the fact that minds lost in mazes can not resolve conflicts
Remain lost in denial with no hope of becoming unstuck
Hope that with clarity one will not get sucked into the same maze, again
Which maze?
The maze where childhood pain, left achingly raw, filters into conflicts, today
Emotional mazes, made of contagious, contentious confusion, circle endlessly
As clarity identifies one issue from another, self awareness spies a fork in the road ...
Fear forbids the eye to look further than door number one
Courage ventures into the great unknown/embraces the road less taken as one's own
Though fear had captured my mind in confusion's classic maze for quite some time
I sought to carve a path toward clarity, inner peace, intimacy ... How about you?
Confusion, stirring inner conflict or clarity, harmonizing peaceably within oneself ...
Door number one or door number two ...
Your friend, the cock-eyed optimist ... now, an optimistic realist,
