and once again, i am the moment

[xelsrealm]

i realised

that i

needed to tell myself

sweet things

call my name like a lover

whisper dulcet nothings in my ear

caress the curves of my belly

and kiss the truth of my beauty

into my

own

skin

lest i find it difficult to tell

whether my attraction

is to someone’s being

or simply

to their

svelte

tongue

i’ll never leave myself thirsting for that which i can so easily provide for myself again

and i am all the more

indulgent

for it

and once again, i am the moment

[xelsrealm]

august 6 2022

i’m feeling very foreign

to myself.

i don’t know when it happened

but i started feeling

out of sync

out of alignment

out of me.

that scared me

so i clung to the bit and pieces of me that i remembered

the phrases and actions

i could recognize,

the behaviors that felt

so familiar to me.

but i’ve had a growing sense of discomfort.

these things which are so familiar

no longer feel right. and it

makes

me

anxious.

but anxiety is an emotion i

don’t feel comfortable in

so i construct a mental

chamber in which

i tell myself lies,

i tell myself

this

is

who

i

am

don’t

doubt

yourself.

but how do you not doubt yourself when you are changing the very fabric of who you are?

in this chamber,

i not only must convince myself

through a constant stream of lies

and dissociation

dissonance

disconnect

that i am who i say i am,

but i also must project that

claim into the world around me.

i have been posturing,

overcompensating,

overcome with hubris

so i don’t have to confront the idea that

i

don’t

know

who

i am

or where

i’m headed.

i’ve lost sight of myself

and shamed myself for it,

then painted a mask of my old self

to wear when i feel i need

some identity

some ego

to cling to.

how do i let this old version of me die?

how do i allow myself to step into my new self?
