"Plqce for my head"
Is there an actual safe haven? A place to unwind, be free from criticism.... A place to utilize our uniqueness in such a manner that outweighs our flaws, a place where our regrets are no longer a thing, where missteps are only viewed as way to gain wisdom in this vast reality...maybe it's not really a place but rather a community that actually chooses to extend grace to self and others, an act of gratitude from the One whom all life emanates from, if only people can distance themselves from 'self preservation' to a 'thriving community' since walking together, as one, for another, would bring about more positive changes than any segregation based on myriads of human based distinctions.

"This fear is just a plague, I'm taking back my heart again"
The obvious response to a stark realization, usually months or years in the making, at that point in time we feel strongly about taking the initiative, the responsibility to make proactive changes to self, how long does it take though? For that empowered version of self to dissipate into nothingness? And does it leave any positive changes in that short span of time?or does it leave one with slightly darker shade than before?

People are blind or should I say ignorant to the truths they wish not to see which ultimately becomes the proverbial thorn in their side.

Halfway Right
Does it ever get better?
The negativity swirling inside my head and heart.
I have happy moment, happy memories, then...
I see myself, like really really see myself, for all that I am...
All I've ever been... Blind folds of a relatively comfortable existence ripped off....
Or is it, that the venom spewed has altered my view of self so thoroughly that I can't differentiate what's true and what's false....
I'm half sorrow, half joy, half active, half stagnant, I can't seem to find a middle ground for my state of self....
Am I at least 50% good at being human, a good steward of all blessings that have been bestowed upon me....
And if so, is it okay, that the other half needs re-working or is it part of me that's quite simply unchangeable but manageable.....
I am what I am, a myriad of emotions and feelings that cannot be understood, an errant tide that refuses to be contained....
But what is self, if not a vast ocean to be explored.....

A labyrinth of passing minutes
Self indulgence,
All day, every day,
Not in improving self but rather,
Sinking deeper into oblivion,
Joy, progress and contentment,
Out my reach,
A little further every day,
Hell bent on remaining as I am,
Or is it that change is hard to achieve,
I am yet to determine whether,
I can actually be better version of self,
Or I am doomed to remain as I am,
A labyrinth of passing minutes,
That only seeks to,
Berate and condemn self,
In hopes that flight or someone,
Will launch me,
From my self made quagmire.

As the year draws to a close, I can't help but think of the many inconsistencies that plague the human mind, we might be in a positive mood experiencing successes or overcoming struggles and all of sudden something goes wrong, unexpectedly or otherwise and adjustments ought to be made, no matter how hard the present circumstances maybe, we have to keep moving because life goes on, nothing stops to give us a moment to breath or grieve, the fluidity of time does not get punctured but we do hence the need to cultivate mental strength, to get us through hard time, because our loved ones can only do so much.....

Enervation
A constant state of being, birthed by a barrage of 'unworthy' remarks, so much so, that it shows, and although I finally called it out for what it was, I still don't have a way out, I'm still not sure whether my view is true or misguided, what I do know for sure though is that I need to unlearn, all the negativity ingrained me, all that hinders continuous progress, my bleak existence that won't allow me to flourish, it gets exceedingly hard to cultivate a positive outlook despite the apparent need for a better version of self, but by and by, hopefully I shall succeed.

Fragile....
Oblivion, my constant state of mind, lately, the world, and my purpose in it, seems to be spinning out of my control, my will to live, to continue fighting for a better me seems to be waning faster than I can replenish and although not an uncommon phenomenon, the situation has become dire now, given that the monster within is more lethal than the seemingly now timid monster without, hope is barely within reach and each passing day proves more fatal than the last, teetering on the precipice of a self-made disaster, wishing I could just be erased from existence rather than having to experience emotional anguish over a self that seeks redemption from all that she embodies.

Death...
Callous, untimely, grief-stricken in the eyes of the beholder, yet the subject of the said loss is oblivious at best for we are yet to discover what happens in the after life, different religions offering different accounts.... but one thing is certain, once a life is snuffed out, its presence still lingers be it good or bad.....
While death is a tragedy for most if not all...sometimes it's a permanent escape from harsh reality whether imagined or not, with death, the pain of not rising to expectations, regrets of past decisions, lack of understanding from those we hold dear seemingly come to an end... Or at least that is what it symbolises despite the reality of the suffering experienced by those left behind....
I am yet to discover whether such thoughts, despite the obvious reference, should be kept at bay or embraced in order to appreciate life more, whether continously harbouring them means we are helpless enough to make any positive changes, and what can be done to cultivate positivity in an atmosphere that is dark contrast to hope filled expectancy of a life yet to be experienced.....

Dear diary,
My need for change, though constant, never seems to materialize and yet I am unable to decide whether this version of me is enough to continue hoping for a somewhat blissful existence, my past though a closed door finds ways to sneak back in at unexpected moments, the one thing I'm sure of however is that my existence need to be sole to experience stability and joy and though this decision is unlike what human existence should be, it's the one plausible road I can pave.
It has been said that the journey is more important than the destination, which in my view is a fallacy, the outcome is a total sum of all that you've done to get to that point in time, so I believe instead that the journey is as important as the destination.

The mind,
Our greatest asset,
Our greatest liability,
It's a life and death face off,
At least for most us,
It is capable of commendable achievement,
Not without hurdles,
But with hope and perseverance,
It is capable of great despair,
An easily attainable state of mind,
With no other party within but self,
You can very well create an insatiable monster,
Greedy for destruction,
We all have different ways of trying to remain sane,
When the storm inside is raging,
More often than not,
Our problem saving strategies,
Fail at best,
And we are left to pick ourselves up,
At least fragments of self,
That ought to have held us in place,
But alas,
It's a never-ending cycle,
Of destruction and rebuilding.....

Some of our favorite people are dreams....
Well not necessarily, at least half the time, when there are gentle winds blowing your way, when you are hopeful for better things on the way, or just simply a kind smile or warm hug from a stranger, or when you've worked hard for something, which has yielded the intended results, it's times like these when you visualize great moments ahead, and your life seems to be heading in the right direction.... Unless negativity sets in, either in form of setbacks, past regrets, present mistakes, or just simply you discouraging yourself.... then the dreams so formed are not at all friendly and bring about an aura of despondency... Nevertheless since they represent versions of ourselves as dependent on prevailing circumstances, ultimately they are our closest friends, and can do much good if prevailed upon to dwell on positive outlooks in all situations.

It is said that in order to ensure 'seamless' continuity, one has to find a healthy mechanism to deal with both joy and sadness, more often than not these mechanisms determine one's state of being, while some normalize these events( the highs and the lows), for others, some find it in possible to find a balance for either one or other, for instance I find myself visualizing good stuff yet to come without knowing the outcome but hopeful enough to build my future around it, but incase it doesn't pan out , cruelty to self is most prominent painting a picture of an incomplete human being who can not and will not make something of herself, and despite the knowledge of the falsity of this statement, the negative aura brought forward engulfs self in a such a manner that pessimism is all you see in future occurrences....
'Be open to rejection' is the solution offered by a friend, that being aware of the obvious fact of life, that depressive moments cannot be avoided, enables one to take events as they are without damage to one's mental health, and that joyous moments should be a tether or rather an anchor during 'heavy storms'....

Battle Symphony
There's a shift in my thought process, I feel ready and willing to take on the next phase of this uncertain journey, not that I am fully equipped nor do I know what tomorrow holds, I just have a sense of peace, a sense of security, because I know who holds my future and that is the only truth that matters.
I am ready for the quintessential highs and lows, life is a learning curve after all, a journey not be halted by dwelling on the past, but rather to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move forward.
