Healing

My heart slows down and blood pressure falls; I am within, inside my walls. I go inside to talk to me; other beings I may see Communing with my other selves; I am reminded of tales to tell. Within you see, my soul resides; from outsiders, there it hides. Facing fears and the past; I hope my courage will last. Within, I face the child, I’d been and promise bad things, won’t occur again. Inside I work through childhood past; knowing, I was built to last. For I’m a Scorpio, you see; I regenerate and rebuild; it sets me free. Like the Oroboros of old; and the phoenix, oh so bold; I am devoured and then, I return anew; lessons learned again. Transformation from old-to-new; will never, ever leave me blue. I was born under a regenerative star and I know that I’ll go far.

"Know Thyself" Was Apollo's advice to Man for through that knowledge we approach God and we become the best we could be! A well written profound poem that sheds light into the knowledge of self ! Much enjoyed dearest, MLK!

Thank you Demetrios; it's so valuable to "know thyself"; and in knowing ourselves, we come to know others. Bless you, my friend.

You have a great way of overcoming things that hurt you think about. Your poem is so creative in telling me this.
