Supernova

Am I a broken mirror glued back together again?
or am I pieces of dangling thread spiderwebbed together
somehow in the middle trying to hold it all together?

complicated
broken

the truth is

I survived

but now I need healthy emotional patterns where I have super-highways of dysfunction that served me well in survival

My insides are howling in fear
conflicting emotions battling it out
everything bursting with a supernova that I used to use to feed a black hole within my chest
now I have to find a way to let it out in a trickle
I need to be able to listen gently, speak calmly the truth insttead of what is expected of me

Not to be a calm, numbed mask with a black hole
but stand in my real self, feel my supernova fully and let it shine gently through my skin

At least I am finally allowed to say

"I don't know"

Those last two lines! Brilliant!
Strange, isn't it, that by simply saying, 'I don't know' you demonstrate wisdom, and at the same time 'inner knowledge'. Blessings, Allen
