Poetry flows

-

Depth that draws
Dark brown eyes
Shining soul
Glittered heart
Intention soft
Seeing you
Bringing close
Gaurd down
~A.R.

Rippled rocks
Time smoothed
Fossilized history
The glory
Of the Shield
Green, black pink
Hues ground
Down from Ice
Leaving this Earth

Writing on the wall
Seeing from a distance
Closing in on me
A tunnel I cannot see
Fear to venture closer
Desire to know
About me
~A.R.

Dusting off
Fogged time
Rolled in it
Too often
Knocked down
As it creeps back
That dirty time
Evil dust
Be gone
~A.R.

Kissed by the gods
Of sleepless nights
Yet to find
The light
To darkness
~A.R.*

Floating away
Gone
Within
My light
Snuffed out
By demons
I spent day
Slaying
Lost now
To time
~A.R.

No more whispers
To myself
Finding strength
In self, in words
Silenced time
No more
For I set
Myself free~
~A.R.*

Heavy wind
Torn skies
Clouds open
Showers down
Sparks to earth
Giving life
~A.R.

Wrapped tight
In self comfort
My own hug
To help me through
Day after day
I have to do
In order to be

Blindly following
Ghosts that lead
Paths broke new
Ways to learn
A start of now
Leave behind
The known
Trust in winds
To invisible growth

Wide awake
Missing time
Skipping beats
Standing in line
Taken over
In self protect
A mode I have
No regret
~A.R.

Running with words
Playing havoc in my head
Verses trained
The conditional standard
To meet the line
A bar set high
Unachievable perfection

Beautiful Flaws

-
Far far from perfect.  I am made up of so many characteristics. As we have maneuvered this life we know we are also a collection of flaws. Beautiful flaws as they've made me who I am.  With PTSD and D.I.D,  and just being human I've made mistakes.  I have some limitations.  Anxiety plays on me. I cannot be or do what many people can. It's a difficult path. With that does come the side of compassion and understanding of others. I can be soft and sensitive.  Empathy and kindness have grown with my awareness of these feelings and obstructions.  I can be misinterpreted as being controlling when I am just trying to protect myself with boundaries.  Flaws like shortness and impatience. I know I have these.  I have needs you cannot see or understand.  My needs seem unreasonable to you. It's me. Yes.  My ground feels unstable and I can be pushed to a place where my mind state will alter. I Switch persons inside. You cannot understand unless you've educated yourself about me.

In part the definition being the house, apartment, etc. where you live, especially with your family.  I am a family of one body. My mother is in a Retirement Home across town. My aging siblings have families of their own. They are not close in proximity. And we are not in big contact with each other.  For me I had the home I grew up in. The one from 4 to 21. I was married and made a home. Close to my parents. I could make a safe place. I was there even after my marriage dissolved.  When my house was sold, I went back to my parents.  I had a boyfriend and spent usually a few days a week there. But that didn't last. I was safe at home. As my parents were aging and things were going to change I got an affordable apartment.  I've been here 3 years.  In that time I've lost my uncle, his safe cottage that I could go to, I lost my pops/dad, the family home was sold, and my mother's in a Home.  Too much. I really feel displaced.   I haven't been able to make this apartment

Create Support Network

-
Support is needed in life for everyone. Alone is not easy nor practical. The saying ' No man is an island." is a life truth that we survive together.  In times of Social Distancing, with a Pandemic, this can be exremely hard. Services and groups have gone virtual or have just gone completely.  The human mind can only tolerate a certain amount of radical changes and restrictions. Many have had their lives greatly impacted. Financially, iob changes or loss, loss of family and friends to the virus, having to move, strains in relationships, and so forth.  As a society we have angst about what life is to come next as the virus continues in waves.  It is now we are in crucial need of mental health care. We need people with new coping skills. Depression, Anxiety and other illnesses on the rise. As is the number of suicides increasing.  As individuals this is a great time to learn to build your support network.  Determine first what you may need. Examples; -Friends for emotion talk a)
