The Art of Pushing Me Away

The Art of Pushing Me Away

Cast away that practicality that keeps you prisoner in a cage, cast away all your excuses woven from threads of fear and resistance, cast away all the reasons you've built like towering walls, now reflect upon your soul, naked and transparent as glass.

Tell me, what do you truly desire in the depths of your hidden being? Follow your heart that beats like a cosmic drum, not your fear, bury the chaos of your mind that howls like a storm of rebel thoughts, bury all the shame you carry like rusted armor.

Bury your brave mask that smiles even as you collapse, now reflect upon your soul, naked and vulnerable as a wound, tell me honestly what you desire when all your defenses crumble to dust, follow the heart that pulses with truth, not the fear that paralyzes you.

Give up pushing me away with your trembling hands of dread, give up hiding your emotions like treasures buried in darkness, give up suppressing your feelings that burn like green flames, now reflect upon your soul unveiled and throbbing like a star.

Tell me what you desire when you no longer wear any mask upon your face, follow your wild and sincere heart, not your domesticated fear, cast away the practicality that holds you in chains of logic and cold calculation, cast away your excuses that float like soap bubbles in the air.

Cast away the reasons you've piled up like books in a fortress, reflect upon your soul exposed to the harsh light of truth, what do you truly desire when all your walls collapse into dust? Follow the pulse of your cosmic heart, not the whispers of your forsaken fear.

Bury the chaos of the mind that holds you captive in the labyrinth of thoughts, bury the shame that weighs upon you like a stone on your bare chest, bury the mask of courage you wear like a carnival costume, reflect upon your soul pure and unprotected as a child.

Tell me honestly what you desire in your darkest depths, follow the path of your pulsing heart, not the road of your frozen fear, give up pushing me away with gestures of defense and constant withdrawal, give up hiding the emotions that boil like a volcano beneath the surface.

Give up suppressing your feelings that want to burst forth like a river, reflect upon your soul stripped of all masks and shields, what do you truly desire when you stand naked before your own essence? Follow your wild and free heart, not your tamed and domesticated fear.

Cast practicality, excuses, and reasons into the ocean to drown, bury the chaos, shame, and mask in the soil of oblivion forever, give up pushing me away, hiding and suppressing what you are, reflect upon your soul and tell me—what do you truly desire to be?
