my work

the work I do
my work
my inner work
is not to reduce
or to deny
categorise as false
and to argue
as convincing
as I can
 
my work
my inner work
is not reductive
but synthetic
 
my work
my inner work
this analysis
does not mean  
endless rationalisation
but to undo
to loosen up
the fixed perceptions
 
the work I do
this inner work
is to listen and observe
I don’t deny
your experience
your feelings
and story
the way you see me
 
and I don’t deny  
mine:

addendum

again
questions
trepidation
stripping the protections
what do you see
shhhh


the whole archive of my inner life
 
but this inner work
is to loosen
my consciousness perception
of myself
to help my psyche  
heal itself
by putting an end
to the division
forcing the opposing energies
the walking paradox
into a common channel
 
until
 
the standstill
is overcome
and life
can flow on
with renewed power
towards new goals [1]

Author's Note
I met my ex yesterday after a period of close to 3 months of silence.
It's still too soon for me and very painful, as I still haven't let her go. The most painful part was that she sees me with her old eyes, assigning me a part I've never wanted to play. It's no one's fault, and I'm just trying to accept the rejection for what it is and move on with my life.
