True creativity unlocks when you stop numbing the pain

When you look at darkness

Not as an enemy to kill

But as a playground

For your psyche and creativity,

It's no longer scary,

But beautiful

There is beauty in the darkest waters,

If you're brave enough to find it

Society wants to stop feeling,

The discomfort and pain,

So the list of ways to numb it

Continue to grow

Keeping the soul fragmented,

Where wisdom tries to knock on the door,

But most cannot hear it clearly

It is only through conscious awareness,

And intiation

That the shadows feel safe enough,

To be seen without the inner voices of criticism

Keeping parts of you small,

It's no longer seen as strength

To tolerate situations

Where your energy drains from you,

True strength is walking away,

When people or places feel off,

Your body becomes your alarm system,

An ancient guide

That shows you

How your soul frequency

Responds to unaligned things

Don't run away from pain

When the basket is unstable,

It makes you want to run away

Because it feels like the pain of loving someone else

Starts to claw at your throat

Until you can't breathe

And all you see is the darkness

It's human instinct to crave an escape

From what we fear the most,

To never receive the kind of love

That we truly desire

But we forget the warmth

The moments where our hearts

Collectively knew that it would all be okay

That pain wasn't the full story

And love is the medicine

Not the band aid

No Gold in the Shallow

When there is no depth,

The light shrinks further into the darkness

And the discomfort rises

To where the sunken feeling

Becomes hard to ignore

There is no gold in the shallow,

You attempt to tear apart the monster,

But the monster is a layer of you,

That has been left behind

You can say fear is the culprit,

It's easier to swim in shallow seas,

Than it is to swim in deeper waters

Creation is your soul's priority

The frustrating itch to consume

Has become normalized,

Like a virus that never leaves the body

When you erase one habit,

It's natural to crave another one

Replacement is dangerous

When you thought you were aware enough,

The habit starts to rule over your life,

And you feel like you're back at the beginning of a maze that seems to have no way out,

But it's not true,

There is a way out,

A reality where conscious living exists

And creation becomes the soul's priority

We feel like we should bow our heads in shame

Thinking we did something wrong,

But the design is real,

And most of us become a victim to it

A slippery slope

Just watching from above

Wondering when we will slip

Into what feels like a dark abyss

Technology was never supposed to be the hindrance of our growth,

But it has become the biggest tool

To ignore what we feel,

To compare our lives,

To document everything

For even a hint of validation from others,

But there comes a time when you stop fighting,

To stop punching a wall that will never move,

And to find the seed of sovereignty

Waiting for you to water it

So your flowers of art

Can grow

Hot Liquid

The way you protect me

Feels like hot liquid pouring down my back

I almost want to give up

But my heart won't allow me to walk away

Even when I know I keep feeling pain

A part of me already knew

What it would be like to love you
