The Process

So, coming off another brand new break up. I found myself rummaging through my old notes and poetry, in an attempt to create the illusion of some type of creative organization. And I found this poem that I had written after the end of another relationship. I originally had no title for it, but as I re-read it, I realized that it was able to depict the emotions I went through in my most recent break up. The player and circumstances may have been different, but the concept and emotions were pretty similar. Hence the title 'The Process' was born! This one reads as a 'spoken word'. Aggressive, expressive and has a sense of finality. I think I am truly able to appreciate it more now for what it is. Emotion.
Hope you enjoy.


The Process

Find myself thinkin' bout you,
trippin' bout you.
Wondering what it is about you.
Can't seem to fuckin' shake you.


Cupids got me stressin' bout you,
achin' for you.
Wanting nothing but to be naked with you,
To be totally and utterly consumed by you.

Just wish I could recognize you,
understand you.
Wishing I didn't analyze you,
start to doubt you.


Time has passed, now I'm angry at you,
so fuckin' ballistic-style mad at you!
Can't remember when last I saw you.
Don't want to WANT to see you.

Now my tears have done flowing over you,
crying out for you.
Dust myself off, time to forget about you.
Make myself happy without you.

Cause THIS, ain't even about you,
And ME, I don't got nothin' to do with you.

END.

#MyLifeAsAHuman - Entry# 984 - My Symphony

I'm sitting here gazing out into a world of possibility and purpose and I chide myself for being a coward sometimes.  I get mad at myself for doubting as much as I do, for hesitating and finding excuses. I look back and remember when I was a fearless dreamer, blatant in my belief, obnoxious in my certainty.... And I wonder.... Where did she go? Where did that girl go? Was she killed off by cynicism? Knocked down by reality.... Captured by adulthood? Defeated by life?... I shake my head, for it is better than hanging it in shame. I steady myself for the mourning of my past self.... And I think... Am I but a shell of my former self? Void of truth and inspiration?  Am I so empty a vessel that my noise is nothing but a deafening yet unnoticeable silence?... These are my fears that nip at my confidence, that drown my rising strength. These are the fears I hold on to, to feed my pity party and excuse myself from wanting... From dreaming... From doing. These are ...

#MyLifeAsAHuman - Free-Style-Friday

I saw you today, Crystal clear and 3D visionscape in my mind... Entangling me in your armour... Devouring me with your smile. I am nestled now in your bosom, peaceful and serene like a new born babe, having no part in being pried from your arms. Refusing to let this moment escape me. You kiss me gently on my forehead and rock me slow and steady like a mother bringing comfort to a child and I am whisked away to a place of severe contentment... That leaves me sated and sublime. I have had visions of you all my life I am sure. Never certain of what this yearning really meant... Never sure of how I should pursue it's interpretation.... Rather I sat and let the vision of what you were... In my head.... Grow and blossom into what you meant... To me. Now I am still and breathing and feeling you enclose me with your tenderness and warmth and I find myself overwhelmed with tear-streaked cheeks and a grateful heart. Emotions have become exposed and raw in their expression and I am left ...
