Emptiness
When you carry the sack of your emptiness in your heart, and make desperate attempts to fill your stabbing void: you end up mixing with the wrong people, in wrong places, in wrong beds, around the wrong tables; you start ignoring setting healthy boundaries in your interactions; you start drinking, smoking, buying, the wrong stuff for the ephemeral pleasures; you start carrying the ghosts of your past into your every interaction. Until you realise you are falling into a deeper abyss, filled with the guilt, with the shame; and someone nudges you to go into your own-self and explore your inner world; until you find a bigger purpose, work persistently towards your goals, learn to regulate your emotions; and someone discovers the treasure of pearls and rubies in the basement of your soul; until you find a way to untie your wings and fly in the spacious sky of a nourishing love; you will find yourself, repeatedly, failing in weaving the delicate bond of healthy, fulfilling, enduring relationships. (a small poetic attempt to highlight the maladoptive and healthy ways to deal with chronic emptiness) ©https://www.poeticnoesis.com/ Comments are closed.
