Loving myself

learning to love myself

living and loving myself

has been a brutal war

half way between I’wont be able to go like this anymore

and of course I will , this is what i was came for

learning to love myself has been nonetheless a brewing war

knees wet from trails on the carpet floor

Im in deep this time

still expected to explore

& now

I am asking of more of myself than ever before

screams come from someplace deep I am untaming the beast inside of me I cut the rope from her ankles off her feet and let her come up to see

soothing her arrival immeadiatly with the words “ you’re not an anchored ache you’re a blessing”

expecting to soothe her she soothes me

“you have not sunken you were just sleep

I was keeping you floating while you were sleep

twelve years under sea you were surrounded by people waiting to call defeat

I kept you floating walking across the bottom of the sea

the ropes tied to my feet was to keep you travelling with me

she replies

I see, this is all so much more than a ‘bad dream’

a- and my screams placed taking residence of where my head should lay

to anyone who doesnt have the eyes for calamity

this looks like insanity

but

I am getting empty a stomach full of peace

I could’ve choose anger

anything

and still I choose peace

mold me over

time and time again

rid me of all impurities , strip me off of all superiority, remind me that I am a dreamer and a lover to the core. A solider of love

prepared to experience more

the descent left me battered and bruised not knowing who to look to.

leaving deaths grips just in time so many times

anyone else’s mouths would read Good God why have you for saken me

even on the kitchen floor with a knife

just escaping my assaulters eyes

in him and in me

that was not easy

I will always give thanks for the gift to see

I know everyone

anyone

who would say why have you forgotten of me

I used to say to friends coming up that it was supposed to be this way something that I needed to learn

beat me till I’ll black and blue I’ll still find truth in you

Tragedy

a series of catostrophes that lead me to my higher me.

Ultimately.

It was all it was meant to be.

I could’ve chose to feel anything

and I chose peace

In the middle of a war zone

I chose peace

The path of complete compassion and yet I know there is still a rager in me

who wants to live out the fantasy of standing on her enemies and calling out

‘defeat’

just like they did me

when I was sleep

but overall all i’ve ever wanted was peace

If we have to go to the end of the worlds just for us to meet

then so it shall be

theres nothing left but to call that magic

it fathoms me

how you walk out of burning buildings with never a scratch to see

Just in time

secret agent sundu gaining wisdom with every mssion she grew through

walking through the flames and rising in the floods

appearing from the rubble

her time has just begun

theres nothing left than to call this magic

Sleeping by ANKA ZHURAVELA

how can someone from such tummult walk out with grace

its fathoms me

takes my breath away
