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

The sea of undoing

You opened the floodgates

And now all I see is you

Like a mesmerizing painting

Catching my attention

Not a fleeting interest,

But a deep ache

For something more

You stretch my capacity

To even think straight

But I like the way you make me feel

Floating in the sea of undoing

You erased the limits

And set me soaring

To both highs and lows

A home that truly felt real

I thought it was normal to endure the pain

To live in my own loneliness

A tower that I subconsciously created

To keep from feeling the harsh ice

Just outside the walls

But your presence woke me up

From a nightmare that I thought I had to live in

But you helped me slowly unravel the pain

To heal one wound at a time

A bubbling foreign substance

Reaches my heart

With an undeniable heat

That took me awhile to decipher

I wanted to run away from your caring nature

Afraid to trust again,

Afraid to find a home that felt truly real

Your cold facade falls

And I see what lies underneath,

A vast open garden

Where every kind of flower thrives

You taught me that I didn't need to be locked in

To a life that slowly withered my heart

The illusion of falling behind

The illusion of falling behind

Feels like a pressure chamber

Filled with air that likes to whisper

That you will never measure up

To what people expect of you

But it is a sneaky trap

That sucks out your vitality

Until you wither inside the shadows

Covered in a thick blanket of regret

When you let the soul navigate,

There is no pressure

No forced performance

No empty pride

But a beautiful forest

Abundant in love and trust
