On Perception

I have a special gift

(Which I've been cursed with).

My mother says I just feel more than others.

Dad thinks drugs have a part in it.

I can't explain or escape it.

Meeting someone for the first time

I can feel into them,

After a few pointed questions

I can explain them.

Sometimes it scares me to think

Sometimes I don't want to see.

I try to deceive what I perceive,

But in the end, exhausted,

I accept what I always knew true.

Gifts should be given but this one has no name attached.

If only I didn't have it,

I would be happy not to care.

It would be nice to meet someone

Without looking into them.

I wish I could give my perception to someone

So they could give it back,

Then they could explain myself to me.

I know you will understand

I know you will understand when I say, it feels like you've written about me! lol :) This phrase totally caught me off guard..

"Sometimes I don't want to see.

I try to deceive what I perceive,"

This is just how I used to feel, when I would 'look into' someone, sometimes what I saw was not very... pleasant. But you know what this tells me about you?? That you, like many of us here, are a BEING OF LIGHT :) That's why you can sense and feel in what you do, why you take so much to heart and why you think so little of the magic you create with your own hands... its the drawback of not only being an old soul, but someone who came here with a purpose, but you forgot, as we all do, when the veil drops... the part of you that is sad and unhappy is the part of you that is looking for YOU to REMEMBER who you are! You have a gift inside you, that's why you're here... it's why we're all here... to spread this light, this love, this joy! So be joyful in your work, and in your heart, give thanks everyday, and I promise, the clouds will part, the sun will shine, and everything you touch and feel, will be sublime :)

That's why there're good in

That's why there're good in the first place one creatures shit is another creatures food. Emoting is the important thing,  e divine expression, perhaps you could read some of my 'third eye' folder, as long as its expelling your demons, it's good for you and anyone else might receive the key through your works to unlock their frustrations, poetry is a complexity of expression that charms a reader, if ey get to the end it's a good thing :) don't be too harsh on yourself, over time and through reading others works it gets even better! Good luck! Cheers SS here if you need anything ;)
