Relate, Reflect and Ruminate: Red

Because sometimes, emotions don’t fit into bullet points and I have a flare for the dramatic.

For those feeling overwhelmed by inner conflict and emotional turmoil

The intersection of anger, fear, and compassion 

Lies the greatest ultimate pain 

Careful and guarded responsibility 

Blood the stopping force 

 

One well-placed blow 

One video played out 

Ending the life 

A world but inverted 

 

Holding back, agony 

A dam of water prophesised to scuttle the valley 

Tearing limb from socket 

Bearing all for those he loves 

 

Such violence in body and mind 

Lasting longer than the mark 

A desire to end suffering 

To realise only pain 

 

What is found is only pain 

Despite wisdom and awareness 

Not merely a throw of the mind's dice 

A chronic manifestation, all problems as one 

 

Survivor wanting not to be victim 

Yet victimised and must progress 

Responsibility taken, not allowing passage 

Yet the force does not relent 

 

Holding the middle 

Walking the line 

A man split in two 

Never truly whole
