Rise from insanity.

    I find myself in this state of mind often, Alcohol or Drugs take me away from a true existence. Another mindless reaction to my own mutiny, a victim of self. Time is the only constant in my favor, but yet i always seem to make it stand still in the bad times.

    breath....

    Looking deeper inside, i find that i need acceptance from others, desperately clawing to get my ego scratched. In this motion towards acknowledgement, i fumble on the cold hard facts of criticism and scrutiny. Feeling as though i am a huge tree that has been hacked down into merely a stump. Reveling all that has been holding me together, while the rest of my timber crashes into the ground to remain forever paralyzed. Only if i were a smaller tree, i think, the fall would not be so devastating, when my ego is cut and falls prey to the floor.

    Inspiration.

    I am the tree, growing tall and strong. the bigger we are, the harder we fall. Realizing my indolence of change is what holds me together now. You have been saving me from this indolence. A new way to care for things.

    Realizing.

    I am imperfect, as we are. My reactions are a shield to protect myself. Leaving the rest to yield, pulling out shields of their own. Clashing reality, a defense for the defensive.

    Protecting.

    A look of disappointment is my fear. In my walk of life, i move forward in a constant flow of emotions and feeling. I look up to the ones whom i love with sensitive eyes. Every bit of pain you endure is another lashing. Affects of my actions lie poisonously in my soul.

    Exposure.

    A persisting resistance is welling inside me. A war of words, thoughts, twisted ambitions and destructive behavior. These things warp whats what.

    Overcoming.

    What holds me down is me, an indisputable conception. A new way to live has been shared, LIFE has always been there to be lived, life is here for me when im ready to live.

    Sounds...very much like me once upon a time. Are you the past me :)

    I am not sure of your exact situation but for me I can tell you how I overcame these problems (except the drugs). I realized I had a lot of energy but no ambitions. I know we are taught to have ambitions, goals, and all that from the start and if you don't your something less but I didn't. A lot of energy and no goals seemed to propel me towards destructive, impulsive things. It's a wonder I made it out as well as I did...

    I used to always need encouragement or praise also and a frown could shatter me whatever my mood was at the time. In time, I simply asked myself what do I want. I weighed it against reality and looked at the things I need to do to get to that point as necessary steps I had to take. I also had to stroke my ego a bit. I convinced myself I was a dark star. A black hole, the most powerful object in existence. And that if I could somehow redirect all that massive energy outward instead of inward I could achieve anything. ANYTHING.

    And so here I am. Better, lol.
