Fed Up with ME

If I had a friend

If I had a friend
I would tell them all the troubles of my soul
I would tell them that I am tired
Tired of my soul’s obsession with itself
I would tell them how tired of myself I am
I would tell them how I thought focusing of myself would fix me ... But all it has done is cause me more problems
Because now my soul creates problems where there are none ... And reacts to them
I would tell them how tired I am
Tired of this SELF focus

I would tell my friend how sometimes I can't believe that it's me who thinks the way I do

I would tell my friend that I am completely tired and exhausted of this Chapter

This SELF chapter

I would tell my friend how hollow the world feels
How empty and useless and meaningless is
I would tell them that I have discovered that as long as my focus is me, I'll always have more issues to uncover from within

If I had a friend

If I had a friend

If I had a friend I would confess to them I want help
I would tell them that I need help ... But that I don't even know the kind of help I need
I would tell my friend that I just want to fly away ... To a far far away place ... Where I would not be focusing on myself... Or serving myself in anyway... But just giving myself to others ... Coz I am sick of this 'Me' business... Looking into the mirror all day everyday... Looking at myself is exhausting

I would tell my friend I want to see more
I want to experience more
I want to experience other things ... Anything else ... Anything but me looking at me looking at me

If I had a friend.

I write about re-finding ourselves, and everything in between; trauma, rejection, acceptance, healing, mental health
