Refered to the hospital
Though Via my gp
When up on arrival
Now starting to worry
Suspected growth or cyst
Hopping it is not the big C
Refered to throat specialist
Also had fine needle biopsy
Something l did not anticipate
Back and fourth ,numuros scans
But l supose now that my fate
Then rests in their hands
Hoping l was for a diagnosis
What are chances of survival
Should l start my bucket list
What if it is though terminal
Now it seems l still await
The results of needle test
And my emotional state
It seems at this time a mess
Not making any future plans
Anything to put my mind at rest
Then l am told very swollen glands
An infected lymph node
never have guessed
Written febuary 2014 horrible time was really ill very scary time
Again a bad case of the blues
Feeling low and depressed
So many unresovled issues
My emotional state not at best
Trying to forget my don'ts and do's
But thoughts and feelings manifest
Trying l am to mind my p's and q's
Just anything to put my mind at rest
Sorry that l am someone whos
Always it seems so damm strested
Though not something l choose
But hay think you have guessed

healing balancing
emotional state of being
left my conscious
with phantom grief
hard to explain
the feeling of a despair
of released attachment
to worry stress anger
no longer holding space
to those emotions in heart
gaining a momentum
to feel something
different as a new
way to conjure thoughts
with the feeling of joy
Power exceeds nothing but the man
Taste of success achievement brings desires want
What feeds soul it's hunger thirst
For survival, worldly possession does not bring life
A mere illusion of hopes happiness
Only when man is himself you find truth
When one is kind, they find heart
Anger, drama's stress to cope realities beatings
A emotional state much like love
Power of ego feed by influence mind
What is one's quality if not fought in belief
Where one stand if ripped his dignity
Except beneath the feet they beg to be
Is color hatred as it is us ourselves
Unpurified nature of mankind since dawn time
Is one better than another except he be different
Same breath we bleed to rectify our actions
Our journey similar; with different steps
Are we running just accept things are
Given up concept to existence we fall
Freedoms drink, our thirst isn't oneself
But soul which gives us life we breathe
Wealth, appreciating your blessings, could be worse

Her words and actions are conflicting
inconsistencies and quirky thoughts
going through the motions
and playing your part
aa man can get tired of the samethang
wondering what spell you're in
wondering if things might change
creating distance guess you're not
commitment minded but you wish to
think you are
you express interest in me
only to have your way
undermining my sincerity
or maybe it's me
it could be
identifying myself as
yours
maybe it's me
that's a possibility
people like to make you
believe everything
about you is wrong
you should never convince someone to
make time for you
From S[lit D Ring
She acts weird so that if you talk about
the person she allows you to know
is completly different
then the pperson she is.....
I losted the reed to my oboe
and was upset. She used the condition
of my emotional state
to create a situation.
Is it past tramua effecting us
or mix signaling.
Numerous scientific studies have shown
That a baby's feelings of confidence and security
Directly depend on the behavior and condition of the mother.
If everything is in order with the emotional state,
Not only the children will be happy
But, also the husband.
Therefore, the husband's task
Is also to try not to disturb
His wife's emotional peace.
If mom would take a break
You need her the opportunity
To have her personal well being's full recovery and happiness.
Obsession creates an emotional state
Influences the soul with no chance of escape ,
People and places we attempt to evade
A sequence of energy cosmically made ,
A key to one's heart that's universally shared
Attractions so strong its source no one dares ,
To question a power from deep below ground
A reflection whose light mirrors rhythm and sound ,
So count your blessings for those who seem rare
The lessons they teach you are part of love's care ,
To open a window of understanding to share
Her blessings and warmth & energetically rare ,
A pulsating heartbeat shared between one
Understanding that shines bright like the sun.

Man. This situation's claustrophobic
I just can't deal with it right now;
I've got no patience to even think,
there's no outlet for what I'm feeling;
If I were a bomb I'd be nuclear
laying waste to everything inside me;
I'm uncomfortable,
get me out of my own skin;
Guts and glory are going to escape
I won't ever really settle down;
Time doesn't matter it just slows
into a desire to run with scissors,
pointy edge directed at myself;
Temper tantrum cuts into fleeting
a change ends all that pain;
I stab myself in all my vitals;
I'm uncomfortable,
get me out of my own skin;
'Go through it maybe learn from it.'
It takes so long to gain those years;
Impulsive as hell now you can't go back.
You're more than that current emotional state;
Inner peace is something that grows,
at times we will always be overwhelmed.
I'm uncomfortable,
get me out of my own skin.
An art ascending along time,
with words which aren't able to sublime;
An outbreak of your emotional state,
with lines small and meanings great;
An endeavor of peace,under a tree,
Is what I call poetry.
Ecstatic, depressed or calm,
ink your thoughts with your palm;
Mere words can be utilized,
to enrich your mental merchandise;
Emotions are yours cared faintly,
prioritize them with poetry.
Expression of your every visit,
GOD, how exquisite;
Evoke your nostalgic memories,
captivated on your personal diaries;
manifesting your inward pleasantly,
is so called POETRY.
Persuaded and reprogrammed leading someone to believe he or
she is the apple of one's life. Played?
Played by the elements earth, wind, and fire are they feelings mutual?
Masquerading one's true intentions, taking advantage of one vulnerability,
They played staring one another in the face pretending at the same time
to stab one's heart 7xs. Played is love fair in this game of art and war?
Playing is a sport an adventure a playground and activities not toying
with the other's person's emotional state of mind.
Exhaustion has became the conclusion to these missing pieces to the puzzle. Often questioning one's emotional state of mind.
Are you mad? making statements I got you, I have your back instead your words are void and doesn't match your actions. Your words
often reminds me of a light switch thats attached to these walls flipped on and off.
Your indecisiveness, thoughtlessness are
exhausting and draining similar like desolation in the land of famine, no where to
tread these wavering points of emotions and destinations.
The majority of mine lxiii years
expended delving deep into imagination,
yours truly escaped, loosed, thwarted...

The Voice
Naming this voice in my head
Causes me to dig deep in a place
Where dreams slowly fade away, and hope has gone unfed
Frequent darkness and loneliness, I’m struggling in this chaotic space
Willfully traveling through this emotional state
I begin to realize, this may be my eternal fate
Allowing past failures control, my mind can’t carry this weight
Feels like I’m slowly falling, holding on by a strand
The mind plays certain tricks, hope you understand
Voice so intrusive, I know firsthand
Mara is your name, the one I’m trying to shed
You’re causing all these setbacks, these thoughts I must replace
With affirmations, my soul can relate
To joy of positivity, this voice now banned
