I am a lonely soul
Heartbeat slow and cold
In my rejection I am alone
Toxic fear holds the throne
We write by this fire
Spirit dissatisfied and weary
Fear is duality
Both captor and protector
I fear my desires
Ashamed of this lust
My passion is tortured
Dreams become dust
This part that keeps us safe
Also keeps us chained
These shackles of insecurity
The cold comfort of the familiar
We pray to this fire
It warms our heart
Longing for love
Yearning for connection
Yet fear rules the psyche
This demon inside me
This voice of insecurity
Reverberating around me
Yet love is visceral medicine
This potent love internal
Transforming fear into hope
Amplifying a spiritual inferno
Striving to break free
Evolving beyond this web of insanity
Shedding our fear of rejection
Awakening to love’s sweet intensity
