Afraid Of Me

I'll put my words away for you
so you won't be afraid
You must think I'm crazy obsessed
but you're not alone...even I wonder some days
I don't know what I would do though
if I couldn't express myself this way
my words are the only thing that keep me from bleeding
from cutting myself open, gutting myself, dissolving into nothing
blackness surrounding me, like it did years before
I put my heart out there, trying to fix it, clean it & make it pure again
but I know it's too much to understand
I must be so arrogant to think that I'm even writing to anybody
that my words mean anything
that they might touch you, even scare you
I know that's lame
I'm writing to a ghost, a face that haunts me night and day
I'm possessed by crippling desire that just won't go away
If my words only had more power
and didn't taste so damn sour
They'd make you burn for me like fire
I wish I knew what to do
because I'd do anything for you
even put my words away

No Matter What

 I'm a bit dramatic. Irrational, unexplainable, never ending feelings can make a person seem that way. I actually understand everything I've been going through, spiritually, but I always question why. Espeically if I'm just going to stay stuck forever, not moving forward quickly enough. The intensity of my feelings change on the daily. I'm diving deep into them though. If I can't change it or explain it or truly express it in a physical way, I'll express it in a way that might seem over the top or off the deep end, but this is about me & my spiritual journey (I know I said I don't believe but God said "fuck you don't!" I'll explain later. Maybe.)  This is about my spiritual journey & my own development. If I'm doing it alone, I'm doing it alone. Most cowards always remain cowards. Maybe they eventually awaken. I don't know. I'm not forcing my will on anyone. I'm focused on me. I'm processing my journey throug

Day 1 of Denial: Spiritual Journey

 So, I was just thinking about something. You know how there's this strange phenomenon where a woman wants to be pregnant so badly and believes so much that she is or will be, she starts experiencing physical signs and symptoms of being pregnant, though there is no baby? Do you think that works for spiritual awakenings & this so-called Twin Flame, soul connection, whatever the fuck you want to refer to it? So you start experiencing all these emotional and physical symptoms that can only be explained by being a Divine experience? I've had my doubts since day 1. I have believed myself to be on a Spiritual journey since I was like 5, though I never called it that, of course. I had no clue what it was I was feeling. I just knew Jesus & Angels were with me & I was trying to be "good." That worked out pretty well for a while, but into my teens & then especially after a certain relationship was basically liquid shit, burning up and deteriorating my mental sta

Day 2 of Denial: Spiritual Journey & Kundalini Awakening

I was having this internal dialog and making myself feel like a fool...imaging conversations I'll never have. And I just told myself, alright, enoughj. This is me, letting this shit go. I've got to. It's not benefiting me in any way. I ask myself quite often "what am I gaining from this pattern of obsession that I've gotten myself in." I honestly don't know. I used to do it for the writing inspiration I drew from it. But that was stolen from me. I mentioned in my last post about people being basically pawns of darkness, used to knock me off course. I understand how my words might trigger certain people. Words carry any energy of their own. If you believe in the Law of Attraction, you know that. I believe it. But my words tend to carry a certain darkness or sadness in them that doesn't exactly attract the things I want to me. But I write what I feel. I was seriously planning to let it go. Today, I actually felt like my attempt at denying that what I'
