Rainbow of self loathing Mood
Friday, January 30, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

I wrote this on 28th December 2008. Just a month ago. While these feelings are still there, they are not the only thing I feel right now. I have positive feelings too. I am posting this in my journal to remind me that the bad times do really come and go.

  

Rainbow of self loathing

Red with searing heat, pain so clean cutting you don’t notice at first

Over the years the scars dull to a violet anger and rage that you can’t pinpoint

To survive and to quell the eruption they get pushed away, forced down, trampled on

They compact and compress into an impenetrable deepest black

I carry this everywhere in the palm of my hand and the pit of my stomach

I love its pebble-like smoothness, am in awe of its power

It is a part of me, it is my friend

My pain, my survival, my self loathing

    I feel this way too. We push our feelings down because no one will listen to us when we are little, no one seems to care, the only thing we can do is push the pain away. We can heal those feelings now by going back. It is great that you are writing this.
