(28.7.24)

In the matter of misery and the hold it has on this heart.
Without the pain and hurt, how does one begin to start the process of rebirth?
It is within this action, the idea of growth,
that we hold on to the dream of a better future.
It is within this minutia that we breathe again.
A new life.
I have held on for far too long to the hurt,
the scars and the memories for they have fed me thus far.
But they have also marred my hopes of finding new love.
Not for the lack of being ready, nor for a lack of desire.
But for a lack of reciprocal energy.
The currents are not connecting, and I’m acting from a position of skeptic,
with a slight negative tilt,
for what I see and hear...
