A poem: The Battle

polarlines:

You try to break me

You try to suffocate me

You try to scare me

You try to confiscate me

You try to eviscerate me

I feel the nerves tingling, thoughts racing, mind melting, emotions elevating, the darkness. Oooo the darkness has returned.  You mother fucker you.  I can let you take me, I can let you break me.  But I promise you, my toolbox is ready, my weapons are armed.  12 rounds, 60 minutes, 9 innings, 3 periods.  Game on you son of a bitch.

Feel myself ground, feel my fists pounding, feel the screams coming, feel my skills drumming.  You are no match for me you wretched being.  You are not me.  You are my sickness.  This means I own you.  And I am not playing today no sir.

I will break free

I will breathe

I will not fear

I will take my self back

I will not disappear.

I am the survivor, I am victorious.  

I will go to bed and we’ll do this tomorrow, and I will win.

Today I can

I look to the future a lot. At least I used to and still do lots of planning and crap like that. However I would worry so much about the future it would make me sicker. I can’t control the future. I can’t change the past. The only thing I have is today. I can only control what I do how I react to triggers and keep myself consistent and treat others kindly. I have caused pain upon a great deal of people in my past and I have to own it forgive myself for it and worry about today.

Fortune telling doesn’t do me any favors. It brings stress and lots of other garbage thoughts that bring me to Disneyland. And I don’t mean Mickey and Minnie’s land. I mean that place where shit don’t make sense. I knew a therapist in my php that said that all the time. It always stuck with me.

So I decided to write something we can all use each day to make things easier.

Today I will get out of bed and then will straighten it out.

Today I will eat breakfast

Today I will treat all those i come in contact with kindness and respect.

Today I will live in the moment. Not in the past or the future.

Today I will not sabotage myself.

Today I will learn to love myself and be kind to myself.

Today I will not hold onto bad thoughts.

Today I can.

Sounds really mushy and gooey but we can try right?

Storms

Whenever we go through an episode it feels crazy. We feel like we have lost ourselves possibly possessed by a demon maybe overtaken by a force greater then ourselves. We tend to lash out act angry cry a lot hurt ourselves etc etc.

This is our storm.

The worst part is those we love end up becoming victims of our behavior and the end result is guilt and shame. We love these people and put them through a horrible situation. Chances are we end up desperate to make it right because we love those so much and will do anything to keep them in our lives.

But the aftermath is pure pain. We must be patient to allow them time to recover from the damage we may have caused. We must understand that even though we did not mean to do what we did even in a time where we can lose all rational thought possibly even dissociate it was still us that hurt them. And after our behavior then we have to deal with this huge piece of sadness.

And then of course more guilt and shame.

I am someone who has no patience. I want to fix things. Never want to have a conflict go on. Want it resolved right away. This is an unreasonable expectation because I am trying to control something I have no control over. My loved ones feelings. I can’t erase it and make it better right away. I have to let time work. And always remember if I break something it may never go back to the way it was. However with glue it can become whole. The issue is I am not glue.

The only glue is time. And when storms hit we can only fix what we can. We cannot do it all overnight.

In the meantime I keep learning these awesome skills and they are helping me to gain wisdom confidence and knowledge about the one person I have been out of touch about for decades me.

We can survive the storms. We can do our best to prevent them but we may not always.

Were human not perfect.
