Void's Poetry

Migrated topic.
Dominated,
Taken advantage of.
My kindness is not weakness,
But fuck around, and find out,
Through vituperative process.
For ya boy,
Is sick and fuckin tired,
Of getting the short-end,
Of feeling the brunt,
Biting my lip for the sake of peace
Curbing myself for another's feelings.
My empathy destroys me.
I treat myself,
As second class,
In my own mind,
On your behalf.

One love

Fellow empath who had his fare share with exploiters on the narcissist side here ❤️

And just now in the process of saying no to this kind of relationship from now on, as well.

This is so metal! 🤘

Anger is a gift.
 
Anxiety,
I'll bear it.
I do bear it.
I have little choice.
Eyes open.
Lids ripped off,
I can't close them.
There's no hiding,
Now,
From this underlying mode,
This default nature;
Anxiety.
The dizziness of freedom,
And something more.
Assuaged to some degree,
By dogma,
And staunch philosophy.
The man with x-ray eyes,
I can't help but see through the veil,
The blanket of safety.
Nothing warm in these parts.
Nothing to cover and console.
No comfort.
The paradigm outside paradigms...
Yet...
The thoughtless thought...
Yet...
Paradox.
Anxiety.

One love

I feel you. Fierce love was the answer for me. Kindness could be harsh as f###.
Look into wrathful deities in Vajrayana or the Kali archetype. Their basis is love, but they would flay your skin for love's sake.

I've always wanted a pinup tattoo with Kali as a motif or element of the overall piece.

Thank you for empathizing. It's very hard to navigate. Being so used to looking out for other's feelings when they can't reciprocate, and that might not even be their fault. It's a catch-22.

Totally agree, that was my first thought, too.

Void needs to form a band!

In therapy, I've been told to be angry and not to worry about it because I have a balance frame of mind (I'm not going to do anything stupid), so it's been interesting to navigate without having any issue with it.


I have had a secret dream since my mid to late 20s of being a metal singer. I smoke and vape too much though.

I love Kali ❤️‍🔥
Never ever would I imagine that I would say it. Her energy is complex, and if you truly invite her into your life she'll kill you.
However, I can't let her go. She's part of my soul now, and I can't help but love her with all my Heart. Here is my favorite book of Kali poetry.
Jai Kali Ma

My compassion is critical,
Get used to it.
I don't levy corrections,
Out of ego,
Out of control,
Out of a necessity,
From my ego,
For my self esteem.
No.
It's not to be right,
Though I value accuracy,
My aim is to help.
Our premises are stones.
Our premises are logs.
Our premises are the building blocks,
That comprise the structure of our ideas.
The rationale and reason,
The mortar.
We often want our assertions,
And our beliefs,
To align with reality,
Not seeing
How heuristics,
Left unchecked,
Lead us down,
An undesirable,
Path.
A path of
A reality that
We just made up.
There's a difference between
The world as it is,
And how we want it to be.
More often than not,
We seem,
To only express,
The latter.
I may make you uncomfortable,
I'll probably lead you,
To question your
Thoughts,
Beliefs,
Convictions...
Good.
They're likely baseless,
Or not as relevant ,
As your convictions,
Lead you to believe.
You're uncomfortable?
Good.
I have no agenda,
I have no aim,
Other than that of,
Authenticity,
And sincerity,
Aligning with,
Greater reality,
Whatever,
That may be.
My compassion is critical.
Get used to it.
This is service.

One love

'Nice'*, but can you do a poem that explains what heuristics actually are, in laypeople's terms? ;)

Hahaha, I was referring to heuristics relative to cognitive biases. The little nuanced and often unnoticed and subconscious shortcuts our minds use to get through the day.

Show me your heart,
Show me your soul,
I'm showing mine,
Openly,
Rawly,
Dammit!
Tap into your being.
Don't give me a role,
You were given.
Don't give me,
Your pre-packaged,
Verbal slop.
Be authentic.
Show me your cracks.
You're not perfect,
You carbon copy.
You've taken the bait,
But you can always drop it.
It needn't be,
So cookie cutter.
Wipe the system.
Break the program.
What drives you?
Roll free,
Cog in the machine.

One love
 
Open Your Heart Love GIF by Barbara Pozzi
 
The silence beckons,
The stochastic healer,
In my own abyss,
Medicine comes in many forms.
Entheogens,
Movement,
Breath,
And so much more.
I care less about,
What i find trivial,
The only priority,
The thing of concern,
What pulls my attention,
Paradox.
Not as singular as it seems.
Paradoxically.
My fervent wish,
To carry myself,
Authentically,
In a different way,
Through this life,
In this world.
With strength and,
Capacity,
And capability,
Unapologetically.
I'm not a push over,
The wrathful,
Clawing behind the veil.
Something is emerging,
Beckoning of reckoning,
Calling from a wailing gale.

One love
