Premium Member Self Awareness

My heart is too frequently engaged
In pursuits of the most frivolous kind,
Sometimes it runs away with itself
Leaves my mind lagging far behind.

written June 18, 2021


Denial

when light fractures into noise…

I embrace the outburst
with emptiness chewing up my nerves.

The void softens the impact—

can’t break what never arrived.

Epigram Five

Epigram 5

 Self-awareness must not be confused 
With self-consciousness which can be
Devastating for people with fragile egos  
You cannot be as good as your inner self.

To Know, Therefore

Self awareness,
freedom’s chain

Mirrored judgment,
harbored pain

Descarte’s premise,
inside out

To know oneself
—eternal doubt

Me

I am awful person
with a great sense of self awareness
I am a good person 
who hurts the ones I love
I love the ones who don't deserve it
The ones who deserve my love get the back of my head.

Natural Order of Things

First rhythm to the beat:
Being honest
Next guest of honour:
Purpose
Following the morning after:
Self-awareness and courage
Break for freedom:
The musician strikes a cord

And echoes the universe it's glorious Love song

To Brave the Pen

What you don't know about writing
is that it doesn't know you, 
until the two of you are willing 
to stew a mess of your own -
brewing your blood's greatest enigmas
right down to its own bone marrow -
why not say hello,
at least?

Premium Member In Angry Protest

Self-mutilation a crushing despair
Helpless rage, no solace anywhere

Inner directed emotional surge
Urgent outlet, implosive urge

With self-awareness to your own self be true
Project not unto others what's shameful in you

Doublecross

The paradox
of self-awareness
near and yet so far

Looking out
to see within
imploding like a star

The door that enters
exits free
its threshold bright then dim

Allowing what
the psyche fears
—to pass both out and in

Came into being,
Achieved self-awareness;
Wondered if it was worth it.
My consciousness existed first!

Note To Self

Self help does not always help self,
Self indulgence could be hazardous to self,
Self advertising can create ego too big for self. 

Self awareness comes before improving one self,
Self diagnosis does not make a happy self,
Self doubt is no excuse for isolating one self.

Greater Self Awareness

it´s only 
a hop, skip, 
and a jump  
away from 
a greater state of
self awareness 
which leads to
self betterment 
which causes 
a peace of mind
that once was 
non existent 
within the self 
that is now growing 
ever stronger within 
the present version 
of reality

Higher Bred

Language builds a place to stand,
inside our own cognition

Each word confirms what thought instills,
in psychic recognition

Are you the true informant,
about what’s inside your head

1st person self awareness frees
—a nature higher bred

Premium Member Blindness

How does blindness come to be selected
As if the choice was a benefit

How does blindness become selective
As if we know what's best for us... or anyone

How can the knowing become unknown
As if creation is ours alone

How can the unknown become acceptable to the blind
When blindness was the choice

God's Language

deep within us is the truth
answers to eternity
subtle simmering poetry  
steam from bubbles lovingly

buried voices whisper all
fervent honeyed depths
warmth against glowing flesh
key to self-awareness

enlightened minds soar in air
gaze upon infinity
word of God, they may be
that poems are divinity

Tinted Window

His poems were about racism.
About the white man who wouldn't hire him
	because he was a “dirty Mexican.”
My mind shivered in disgust.

In the end he said, “…and I thank my wife…”
He spotted her in the audience, nodded, and
	smiled lovingly.
I immediately turned to look for the Hispanic
	woman in the crowd.

Excursion Within the Self

starting a journey 
within the self 
embarking on an 
excursion into the soul
taking an outing 
into the unknown 
pack a picnic lunch
full of questions 
that need answers 
that hopefully will
be found on the way 
to self awareness 
once this field trip of 
the present self 
has come to it's conclusion 
on the other
side of reality

Under the Chestnut Tree

And here I am under your majestic embrace
Giving into what your nature shares
Wondering why you need those spiky pods
Is it to protect what you treasure most?
When autumn comes you then let it go.

I too have my spiky pods
Holding on, not wanting to let go.
Keeping safe my inner soul.
As the leaves changes I hold my breath
And realise that I am autumn past.
