Self Torture

the struggle of the acceptance of the loss of a love one

Self Torture

 

Picture if u will a balloon. Acceding to the sky, weight less in the air.

As it leave from the childs hands, the child wines and cries as tears flow from their eyes.

The parents try to calm them by offering a replacement, but the child does not accept.

Now if you analyze the comparisons, this is similar to death.

We accede into the sky towards the heavens. Well, most of us.

We leave behind those who have loved us greatly.

We wine, cry, and moan. As tears run uncontrollably down our faces we feel an emotional emptiness in our hearts. Then as our family and friends try to comfort us, in our state of emotional pain, they offer an outlet, or as I like to call it, an emotional replacement.

We deny all help, not allowing anyone to take his or her place.

But unfortunately also not allowing ourselves to let go.

And like a child we become stubborn, with no acceptation of a solution.

                                  Allowing ourselves to remain in misery.

This touched me! I am glad I stumbled on to it, for as soon as I started to read, I found myself moving closer to your words. It was like being punched right in the middle and I saw so much of myself inside that it shocked me. I lost my mother last month and I was that person in your piece. I realized so many things and was surprised that I could see myself from words that were written on paper. Thank you so for sharing..
You have no idea on how much it helped in me reading this piece.. Wonderful flow, words so true, and such an eye opener of a piece..


Peace;
