Drawn Away
I am drawn in so many directions.
ㅤ
Stuck in the waves
ㅤ
Pushed and pulled
ㅤ
From pleasure to fear
ㅤ
Apathy to dissatisfaction
ㅤ
Terror to contentment
ㅤ
Some thoughts terrify me
ㅤ
Others give such hope
ㅤ
They say thoughts
ㅤ
They can't harm?
ㅤ
Thoughts in all their forms can heal or harm
ㅤ
Memories of malice or kindness
ㅤ
Hopes abandoned or restored
ㅤ
Plans done artfully and regretted
ㅤ
Loves skillfully squandered or reveled in
ㅤ
Like skyscrapers of spaghetti and marshmallows
ㅤ
Minds crumble under their own weight
ㅤ
People walk towards self destruction
ㅤ
They move to embrace loss like an old friend
ㅤ
Let us look to ourselves and see who we are
ㅤ
Fear not memories of such avoidable loss
ㅤ
Fear not past failings and mistakes
ㅤ
Fear not such memories of ectasy
ㅤ
Fear not the memories of the burns
ㅤ
Float on through them steeping
ㅤ
The person you saw in the past
ㅤ
Who will that person become?
ㅤ
Is that who you want to be?
ㅤ
What was felt then you'll...
ㅤ
you'll feel it again, right?
ㅤ
Don't get lost in them.
ㅤ
learn from them.
ㅤ
Learn to like looking the one in the mirror in the eye.
ㅤ
Learn to see that person as the world does
