Anger, Where's My Clarity and What Comes Next?

Anger is a deep seated feeling of betrayal; the elementary cursing substitutes are no longer relevant, and the only words that fly are a culmination of "fucks," "damn-its," and perhaps the occasional "asshole." While to the outsider they seem a bit excessive, you know the scope of your wounds, and the reality is that these words are quite accurate ways to begin coloring the hostility. You aren't sure whether to scream or cry, so perhaps you cope with words to the tune of "I'm fine," followed by an attempt to feel numb; your attempt, while well-intentioned, is piss poor, so numb is inevitably returned with a tsunami of unresolved emotions.

Perhaps I have been forced out of cloud nine's numbing wave, and in turn, have been left feeling a little--shall we say, pissed off. At least, that is the start of it. 

Anger is the emotion when you have to face the unknown, and you tell everyone not to worry about you, but you hate the unknown more than anyone, so you're actually terrified. Anger is my frustration I am experiencing now because my computer screen is changing colors on me and growing dark, since I have been apparently typing for too long--a new normal.

Anger is something that describes when life is stormy, and you don't know how to feel, so your simple response will always be "I'm fine," and you are doing your damndest to hold on to faith because you know that no matter what even if you aren't fine now--you will be.

Things Left Unsaid--Part one of the blog poem series

Snow White As the white silently encloses Covering everything it touches It is so serene And we go back Dawning on white blankets of crystallized cool Sliding into the still of the night. It is you and your thoughts: Just one last gaze at the white- To escape To forget the night. Each night. To forget our thoughts At least- that is what I imagine it to be like. It is calm. Each crystal entering as you lay there Allowing your body to finally be free. White blankets that disregard the worry outside your window Because one more night with this raw person you were Seemed like far too much. So we cover ourselves and watch this peaceful scene as the crystal Sinks. It is the silver snake working its way through skin. And we slumber into transcendence And learn that heaven is white, too It is blues and greys.  Red. A clear sky morning. But the earth begins to moan beneath White blankets fade in and out for those left behind. ...

Open Letter to The Girl Who Wishes She Had an Eating Disorder

     To the girl who wishes she had an eating disorder:  Oh, words. There are so many things I would like to tell you in this moment, but all too quickly the time passes. My heart shatters in watching your eyes grow dark in the pain, as I watch you belittle yourself, and absorb the pointed and loaded remarks of society. I am sorry that society has made you feel so inadequate that you have the overwhelming urge to turn against yourself in your quest to find peace and self satisfaction. The satisfaction that society will never give you, and I guarantee you will never get.      I am sorry that society has told you your worth in life is based off your size, or how many calories you can deprive yourself, rather than the overflowing compassion that flows from your soul, or the beauty of your free and passionate fiery spirit. I am sorry that society has become the fragile layers of ice upon which we traverse, when they offer no support, and we s...

Getting out of the Boat and Choosing Happy

     Whenever you make a mistake, it is never too late to turn around and do the next right thing. Each word is an intricate thread. Alone it is fragile and easily wavering, but woven together, these words I can only hope will create a beautiful and unbreakable masterpiece full of significance that will not only work towards my own greater peace, but that will one day be of aid to others...      Life is full of chaos in its' unexpected turns of events, and while we may be predisposed to trials that create discord in our journey, and adversity in the path that is out of our control, it does not have to determine our future. Trial either defines or refines us. The choice is ours to hit the ground running.       The last month has been a rude, but completely humbling and necessary awakening into a destination greater than an eating disorder. Learning how to recover calls me to accept an identity as a person beyond the ...
