TOXIC OCEAN

I cry for pain I have caused
For pain I have faced
For pain deep inside
Rooted in my blood and bones

I grieve years lost
I grieve so many relationships
Mania brings out big emotions
This grief and shame a toxic ocean

I cry for love not meant to be
Tears flow as the pain circulates
I grieve what I’ve lost
I grieve what never was

These are shadow emotions
Forces we try not to see
But we feel them viscerally
We must feel them to be free

I surrender to the quantum field
Emotions are teachers I want to heed
I lean into community and deep gratitude
I relearn my power to pause and breathe

I love fiercely with passion and faith
I face these shadow emotions
They move and remold my being
Helping me rise from this toxic ocean
