You’ve searched for a sanctuary of souls who sing away sorrow for spiritual catharsis. For cosmic kin who integrate the darkness because without it the light would have nothing to dance in. You can no longer stomach the stench of jealousy and smile like the faking will keep you breathing. Cause staying around strangers who starve for their own essence, sincerity, and salvation is a curse casted on the self.

I find it quite interesting that we deeply crave to be in relationships but when we’re in them we seem to use our past pain and traumas as a compass to navigate the experiences

We often find ourselves hiding the torment we feel through laughs, smiles, sugar pies, and silence. We often forget that resonance keeps the human experience alive, It connects us to others who have swam in the depths that have drowned us. This poem explores that. The suffering we keep can be released as long as we remember one thing: the ocean never asked for us to hold it. The sea is satisfied without our needing. They only ever mirrored our capacity to love.
