Unravelled
Facing yourself
comes out of the blue
unexpected realities
that can no longer be buried,
sometimes just a word
a look
a small action
is the trigger
stirring soul’s murky waters,
confronting the now
with the past
Habits and behaviours that
evolved compressing
life and creativity with
expectations and frustrations,
bringing pain and eroding self
life collapsing
into survival mode,
stuck and trapped
derailed from destiny,
annoying mind threads
that keep tugging
pulling at awareness
unravelling
who we are.
God, where are you?
Starting Thoughts:
We can suddenly discover things about ourselves in a sound, voice, thought, image that triggers us and faces us with who we are. Do we like the person we meet? At these points in life, and I think we face them more than once, the questions come.
