Coming out

And so I poured myself
Inside my fears,
And they had no power over me
Any longer.

Officially came out as Pansexual today!

Ghosts

The thought of ghosts stopped scaring me,
When I realized,
I was more dead then they would ever be.

Relating to the numbness I get alongside Depression, it's god awful.

Judgemental

Everyone is full of opinions about
What I should do,
Where I should go,
Who I should be,
And who should I talk to;

When they can't even look inside their own bags to clean their dirt.

Frustration.
Old vent.

Perception

It's difficult to remind yourself,
That you are not just a perception of what others make you,
But that you are more than that.

You are your laugh,
And all those times when you couldn't get up,
But found the strength within yourself to make it through.

Don't let others be the only source of reflection.

Pain

Hurt people,
Hurt people.

I often spend hours at night reflecting or having memories of past abuse and trauma. I am the type to see the level of pain in my abusers than evil. It makes me sad and often...
Has made me look crazy for giving them forgiveness and empathy from a lot of people.
No one is born evil, be it an illness, pain, or even trauma themselves...
I at least try to see some reality in it all.

I don't know, that's just me.

MAN

Forgiveness

I forgave the ones who hurt me,
yet the pain was still too real.
It wasn’t until I forgave myself,
that the inner wounds began to heal.

There is a movie out called “The Shack”. It puts life in perspective. The delivery of the message is easier to handle the way they name some of the characters.
