Awakening

AWAKENING  
  © Chime March 17, 2002

Unconscious and unaware I’ve been for so long

Head and heart buried in the sands of denial

Afraid to feel, connect to myself, was I wrong

Going through the motions of life

Defenses and masks sprouted like weeds

All in the name of protecting my need

To hide from the world of heartache and pain

At least, that’s what has kept myself sane

But who can relate to a robotic android

One who’s shallow, full of cliched responses

Only a similar creature, with corresponding features

Lacking depth, feelings, opinions, zombified

I’ve become rather daring and have begun sharing

Feelings, opinions and emotions with some

Exhilarating sensations are sending me reeling

Now alive with a novel sense of fun!

Hello,

I thought I'd change things up a little, here's one of my poems from nine years ago. I plan to tweak my presentation in how I show up in my world over the next little while.  By gum, something's got to happen, life can't get much worse .... I'll let you know how I get on.


Goodnight
