Notes On Derealization: NO.3

I hide soft tiny whispers

in the cracks of my phantom limbs,

of which the darkness will guard the prophecies

of my desired being.

I will allow the omens to mend the crevices

of my physique

and slowly learn again how to be human.

This poem is about embracing everything that manifests the human experience. It is about learning to accept the form of my body, the flow of my thoughts, the complexity of my emotions & my relationships with other persons. To live in fears of doubt and embarrassments of earthly fragility or to embrace mortality and all it's perks? I choose the latter. I choose to learn to be okay with having thin skin and shaky bones, to embrace the unknowingness of space and deep thoughts. I choose to be okay with not understanding what is inside me and I choose to take my time to learn more about it. Not for the exposure to others, but for my inner peace in the shape of quieter thoughts.
