Speak To Me & Don't Speak Softly

Tie me to the bed.
Strap me down.
Secure me.

Lock me away from the world.
No contact. No triggers.

Let me sweat it out.
Scream it out.
Get it out.

Ignore my pleas.
My mind is not well.
I am under influence.

Drain the poison.
Fix me.

It's rehab,
For my addiction.
For your addiction.
We feed on the pain.

Please.

Cure my soul.

It's hard letting go, isn't it?

It can be. Depends what you're letting go of, I suppose.

The hardest things to let go of, are sometimes the things that were never really there. at least, not for long.

Very cryptic. I think, in my case, I disagree. All the things I'm ridding myself of were absolutely there, and for a long time.

But I guess you could be right about different situations. I can't really say.

I get what you're saying. It makes me wonder who you are, actually.

It would help to understand if we knew more about what exactly the pain is that you're going through?

Is it the pain of an end to a relationship? The lack of a meaningful job? The lack of some kind of missing love in your life?

You talk a good deal about your own insecurities. But aside from blogging and writing poetry, what other actions could you take to help you overcome these insecurities?

Your privacy is your own business but since you're willing to blog about your life, can you bare to share a little more? I'm a stranger to you. And strangers are supposedly the easiest kind of person to open up to and share your pain with.

Go for it.

Writing on my blog isn't talking to a stranger - it's talking to strangers, friends, family, enemies, and everything in between.

I write the things I feel like sharing. It's my outlet, and I can stop at whichever boundaries I choose. So I do.

Getting into specifics and letting the world in won't help me or anyone, really. I do that in a less public manner. Or sometimes I don't do it at all.

A lot of things stop at me.

Well I hope the things you rid yourself of, were worth getting rid of. Doing that can be vindicating or intoxicating.
