Ink Stained Soul…

It isn’t easy seeing others drown in their darkness.
The ones the drink to numb.
The ones that hide in substances.
The truth is there are so many ways to avoid sitting with yourself.
The gym, if it’s a place to build the physical instead of fueling the body as a whole.
Deprivation of rest is another form of avoiding.
A society where being truthful with all the things we wish to hide is consistent the norm.
Solitude was once my way to hide.
It transformed, becoming my training ground of mastering my vast array of emotions. They place I allow authenticity to overcome. Removing the shame of how deeply things have a hold on me. I changed the game of addiction and became addicted to being myself. I found a way to love in a world that would rather stay numb.
