EMOTIONAL MANIFESTO

The essence of

my life

is tied

Tied tight

in an intricate web

A delicate series

of

balances and imbalances

that daily plague

my internal sensibility

Intrinsic silence

scares me to a degree

It weaves its' web

into

conscious thought

deep speeches

that transcend

fears of failure,

but none-the-less

bypasses the good

made manifest

in phrases

that unfold

with

empathetic strings attached

I seek

to cut the webs

cut the strings

and feed them

to my spreading wings

that seem to thrive

in the mire

of daily life

I endure pain

self-inflicted

to restrict the

unrestricted

in the hopes

of freedom

from confliction.

My worries yearn

to fly

and evaporate into

the sky becoming

the tapestry

of life

transmutation into

Nature

My highs will remain

High

And even though

I've failed

to rise into a right

mind

so many times

cutting

the emotional ties

the detox from intentional

blocks

rocks and lulls me

into a peaceful sleep

to dream

of the things I see

so the retreating will stop

and life will

begin again

from a womb

I never knew

Letting it consume me

The genesis of

awakening

repeating

The space to BE.
