Challenge
I wanna meet the gnarled, twisted bits of you.
I've been dealing with my depression by personifying it (like in "a conversation"). I'm kinda obsessed with the idea of making something more "alive," giving it more power almost, to make it easier to deal with. If you were to give them character or a face or a body, what would your mental illness/troubles/dark emotions be like? How would you interact with them? What would they do on a day-to-day basis? Written however you like, no limitations. Please tag me @wabisabi.
From Good to Bad
The worst parts of me come from
the best parts.
I feel love, but he is not mine so
I am envious and lustful.
I am naturally peaceful so
sometimes fury boils deep inside me.
I am generous and so
I expect generosity from others.
I am mostly confident but
when insecurity rises, it eats me away.
I am intelligent and creative and so
I overthink and overimagine to my detriment.
I am so blessed, but sometimes
I am bored and greedy.
The ugly parts of me flutter my heart,
boil my blood, tense my muscles and make
me want to wreak violence on those who
have done nothing to me.
You can’t see those ugly parts. They are
swirling in my head and twisting my bones.
They hide behind my mild eyes.
