My dearest Mandy,
Here we are once again. Differently, yet still the same.
Words written through out today, only touch the guilt felt shame.
Never mind, the fucking pain!
Denying truths through unwritten spaces.
Putting yourself through the paces. Relearning to purge upon the page.
Making space by challenging your inner demons.
Embrace it all with your words and phrases.
Dig deeper girl ~ FEEL it all.
Observe, don’t absorb. Accept, don’t push it away.
Surrounded, within the protective crystal orb. Knowing this path is not the easiest to take.
Recovery and Self at stake.
What are you willing to be
to ask
to change.
Love Always,
Me
