Completing Alignment

all she ever wanted to be was one with herself
and yet here she was disunited and fragmented
seeking what seemed out of harmonious reach

heart choked in a stranglehold of noosed reason
razor wire punctured her emotions and feelings
rational distortion shackled a delusion of truth

I just want to hold you safe and keep you insane
better the bevel you know than a slope you do not
a few abrasions won’t ache but passion will hurt

the mind banned foreign intrusion by sentiments
dangled a carrot of undefeated logic and thoughts
undermined every effort to feel emote and sense

it took great supremacy battles and mental afflictions
for her to raise a heart shaped brain from the dead
but her new union with Self defeated all loneliness

So intriguing... Mental anguish filled with feelings and emotional angst... A learning verse in a whisper we must listen intently for if we expect ever to hear. Enjoyed. God bless you with love and prayers, Gina

I found this poem to be very complex; would love to understand some of the images. Plan to read it several times. Thanks for sharing!
