Downward spiral

I will keep it secret

This love between us

That others wish to

So carelessly destroy

It is sad to see

The lack of love and trust in this world

And all of the damage

Making hearts savage

And for sure every wound and hurt is real

But just because pain exists

Does not mean the entire world is black

For the secret lies

In giving love to your wounded insides

But in knowing as well

That all of this pain

Was only necessary to remind us of all we gain

When we learn the ways to truly love

Not from ego

But from an open, expansive, grounded self

Elevating our wounded histories

Ending our painful soliliquys

And paying heed to all

Of the unredeemed damage

That only spins us round and round in circles

Leading us nowhere

But into a downward spiral
