Personal Truth

a thing in and of itself

of your deepest self

the concious of your inside

only in and only on the inside

perhaps a love beyond description

maybe a damage unexpressable

always a thing that is inviolable

forever something incommunicable

from the deepest parts imaginable

from that ineffable part inside of you

[Cherrie Palmer]

That deepest self, that thing that keeps us running, moving, searching.
I believe most people have never looked there. Some cause they don't know how, some are simply afraid.
But I love how you work this angle, leaving breadcrumbs for thecreader to follow.

So this poem makes me think (like you always do) am I a doors open or doors closed kinda gal. I am a doors open. I must see and know. I think most will find that deepest love and pain that drives us.

Doors open is for the best I think. Sometimes it might not seem like it at the time but, I believe the sum total is a positive number in the end. Thanks for the kind review Cherrie, it's always nice to see you around.

Seems to speak of that part of each of us which reflects our basic self. Interestingly, included is a line that indicates even a "damage inexpressible" can be part of that inner space. People who are wounded here suffer the greatest pains of all. This is where PTSD lives.

Nice. The ture being. The shadow arises. Consciousness

[Kent Rawski]

a write that goes to a depth of feeling not a black and white concrete truth but feeling from deep inside that resonates within us as being true at our core and so be our inner belief an essence of ourselves hard to free but wills to well up in ourself as a genie in a bottle nice write to relate to

Interesting... I have to ponder this one some more ...

[Davidgeo]

I probably should of done that myself before posting this. I'm still not sure to be honest.

Like it or not, it's there.. growing and pushing forward... or backward.

In everyone I think there are things incommunicable. Sometimes even to ourselves. We all posses an essence that defines us in a way obvious and direct words will never be exacting enough to convey. It's why art exists at all I think; to express something indirectly, something so fundamentally intimate we cannot even directly acknowledge it to ourselves... but we know it's there none the less. I think a good analogy would be Heisenberg's uncertainty principle... if you can measure something's exact speed that means you cannot measure it's exact location; if you can measure something's exact location you cannot measure it's exact speed. (that little summary is not all Heisenberg had in mind but it's definitely a part of it)

The depths within, that so many are afraid to explore in favour of preferring to choose to live their lives on a superficial level. Thought provoking write David.
