there is comfort within these walls…
where one can feel
safe

the reality is quite the opposite…
within these walls
is where
the truest danger lies…

Thank you. I am afraid my writing is a bit dark, as of late. It is what I feel like writing. It will pass, I hope;)

PookyH | April 25, 2014 at 8:16 pm
I hope so too, though I hope you find the writing cathartic, I always do…
14.
words4jp | April 25, 2014 at 10:12 pm
I do very much so, though sometimes I scare myself a bit.

PookyH | April 26, 2014 at 8:06 pm
How come? Because of the depth of what you’re feeling?
16.
words4jp | April 27, 2014 at 11:46 am
Yes, I think so. I sit to write or a thought comes to my head and out it comes – dark as night sometimes. It is a cathartic feeling – letting it out, but I find it unsettling to think I even think this way.

I can completely understand where you’re coming from. But better out than in, that much I’m pretty sure about.

Oh, it pains me to read your post. You are such an open, honest person; well that’s what comes across through your writings. Knowing and loving ourself is the only worthwhile journey of our life. For without being at peace with who we are, we will struggle to be at peace with others. Sorry, I don’t mean to get ‘too deep’. Hopefully, you sense where I am coming from.

words4jp | April 24, 2014 at 11:14 am
Please do ‘go deep’. You are right. Very right. 😉

Thank you! That’s why being loved so unconditionally by a dog is practically beyond emotional measure. Big hugs from Oregon.

This in response to your latest comment. That is that I’m thinking of writing a post on LfD about self-awareness. In part motivated by your post. Would love to share the draft with you. Want to email me your contact email?

Powerful!! And oh, so terribly familiar. Although, I have to say that I’m getting better in this area. If I can get better in this area, you can too! I will have hope for the times when you don’t K and vice versa. xoxo
