The Perfect Storm

"There will be no calm without if the storm within does not cease."

It's true isn't it?

Think about it....

It's never about us.

It's always about the other person - the boss, the colleague, the parent, the sibling, the other woman.

Other jobs are always better, other families are happier, other people's salaries are higher, other women's figures are better.

There's always this lust, this ache, this itch that causes us to hanker after more things, other people's things, what's on the other side.

There's a space within us that's so empty, so desolate, so arid that it even spills over to our perception of the external.

We're so deficient on the inside, nothing on the outside can ever substantiate.

As a result, we let ourselves fall prey to everything and everybody around us.

The weight of the world becomes an overpowering pressure and burden, crushing us without and even more within.

The question is, why do we let this happen to us?

The truth is, there's nothing and no one in this world who can touch us if we won't let it.

Seriously. Believe me.

emptiness
the unbearable weight of lightness
sinking the heart deeper
in a stormy sea of desires
drowning in desperation
struggling for life
such torment
such pain
where is my angel of Death
where
