Man Cave

For years I have wanted a man cave. A place for me to be alone. A place I could call my second home.

For years I have wanted a man cave. A place where my thoughts can roam freely without anyone judging me

For years I have wanted a man cave. A place with weights and maybe a punching bag, so I can let out all the anger I have

For years I have wanted a man cave. A place with a safe to place the emotions I dont want to escape.

For all these years I’ve had a man cave and now I know It’s my mind. This is a dark place that I visit all the time.

I stay there by myself just contemplating everything. Lights shut off with a drink in my hand just sitting there wondering. Drink after drink, lips start muttering

They are faint whispers, but if you listen close you can hear….for all these years you wanted a man cave, Did you expect your place of solitude would also be a place of fear!

Nobody will ever see the universe the way you do, and for that reason, you are unique!

Stars

I find peace in the stars. Something about looking up at night releasing your mind and letting the cosmos whisk you away is art.

Its something about this art that makes the mind feel nothing but feelings, and in that moment, the stars feel with you

They wink to let you know its ok. They shine to brighten up your life. They dance to put a smile on your face, and watching them is such sweet music

The piece of peace that I recieve from them tells me that somewhere there is quiet and somewhere there is joy, and as long as I keep my head up when I cry, the stars will always give me peace!

Trust

How can I trust you when I can’t trust myself?

How am I suppose to give you a hundred percent of something that my mind wont allow myself to have?

I’m learning as days go by that my mind is loki and my body is a playground for him to torment and fabricate his reality.

My mind can make me go to the ER to get checked for chest pains only to reveal nothing but laughter.

Theres nothing wrong with you, I hear that voice, but loki just drowns it out and keeps me up at night thinking if I shut my eyes then that’s it!

Hungry but cant eat, tired but cant sleep, all because of my mind playing tricks on me.

So you ask for my trust, but how can I trust you when I cant trust myself
