Scales

Ya, I'm off balance. Do you want to talk about it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My balance is off

Scales tipped

Weight of silence

Heart ripped

 

Anger and denial

Truths overwhelming

Thoughts and emotions

Too consuming

 

I’m tired of the game

Tired of the fight

Spell out I love you

With all my might

 

Unreachable, untouchable

Silence that screams

Distant voices

Not all it seems

 

Fighting battles

I know I’ll never win

Waiting for death

My greatest sin

 

My balance if off

Scales are tipped

Weight of silence

Heart ripped

This is so raw, so real. Such an honest look at the power struggles in relationship, how injurious it is when one puts their fist on one side without a hint of balance.

deep deep touch right to the soul~

I've often wondered if there are bi-polar bears....lol....Because I'd hate to meet one of those! I know what my demons are like and if they had claws and jaws to boot...it would be SCARY! Good piece..I liked it.

once we come to this point
we strike the balance
breaking through the stuffing of emotions
finding a transition
we can stand on
well said

[Wondering Mind]

this is like hearing the rumble of thunder without seeing the lightning first.
I always find it easier talking after it rains

[Misty Blue Eyes]
