Stepping Into Pain

The smallest glitch
Can release a tidal wave
Of deep emotion
Anger, sadness, disappointment
Can’t seem to let go
So much failure
Rather a pattern rooted within me
I shake
I twist and turn
Hide behind the curtain of knowing
Still catches up to me
Now I’m here
Waiting for the verdict
Of my own inner guidance
I sink into it
Let go for a second
Sadness washes me to the shore
This pain cannot be ignored
Anymore
I’m here with You now
Take one step
One breath
And we’re closer once more

With deep sadness
