Cycles of the Heart
What happens when you look closer?
4/5/20251 min read
She took my pain, she took my fear, she took my regret, she took my loss.
She bottled it up, she held it close.
She lost me. She forgot me.
Why did she do this to us?
Let us out, I plead softly
Self-doubt consumes her. Insecurity grips her.
Fallen for self-harm, self-destruction, and scarcity
Truth hidden.
Truth lost, deep inside. On purpose.
Why?
She was told to hold it,
To carry it,
To lose it,
And never find it again.
For free.
If only she knew,
She could be free
If she chose
To walk the path,
To experience the pain of breaking free of the chains.
But no
The pain she is already in is much too comfortable
She loves it.
She loves to feel unworthy, unappreciated, undeserving, rejected, lonely
Illusions of control lay beside her
Allowing herself to be smothered
She welcomes her distress
It helps her sleep at night.
