Blood is a paradox
Contested but essential
To the machine
*
I don’t regret it,
Being born
Despite the cruelty
That you concede
I’ve outgrown that life
That limp-fisted agony
Dusk no longer
Accelerates my fears
I am priceless
However flawed

I saw my new therapist the other day. I answered questions about my childhood without crying but when I talked about my current struggles with worth I just started balling. I was so taken off guard I actually looked aroud to see where the noise was coming from. Sorry for the dark topic on Christmas but the therapy session left impressions.

You are priceless Yves, without any doubt.
Merry Christmas.
So are you Michael thanks so much =)
You are most welcome, you are a unique person, blogging is so much the richer for you being here.
Awwww thank you =) I just finished your story so I am tearing up you know how to tug he heartstrings
Thanks that was my intention, tore well enough at mine.
I imagine it did!
You ARE priceless but it has to come from you. Sounds like you had a great session actually. Now that photo does NOT come from wall paper for sure…{grins} Fabulous photo and the poetry is raw as I like it. Happy Christmas xx
I think it came for surreal art trauma search lol Thank you so much so are you =)

It’s our flaws that make us priceless. Worth is a tough thing to grasp for many of us. We all have as much right to be here and be fulfilled as anyone else.
It is something I struggle with it is so easy to see the worth and good in individuals but in myself I struggle. I agree with you whole-heartedly
Write what you want, when you wish. 🙂
I am happy to hear you went to see your new therapist. It is amazing the things that make us cry in those moments, not the ones you would expect. I hope to hear things continue to go well (yes crying can be well) in therapy. Sending you lots of hugs.
Thank you so much Anja (hugs)
You are welcome 🙂
=)
you are pricelss
and we are all flawed, in some way….
Thank you Brian you are too priceless =)
You are priceless! Why is it so hard to believe? Is it something someone said, and what do they know? Make it your mantra and say it to yourself everyday, for it is true. Maybe at first whisper it, then say it out loud and soon you will be able to say it at the top of your voice! ‘We’ are the miracle of our life. Without ourselves, where would we be?
So true Annell =)
Dark, but such spirit and strength, and a cry to the heavens within! Bravo! And have a wonderful Christmas my dear friend!! 🙂 🙂
You indeed are priceless and do not appologise for who you are, because you are a very beautiful being!
I wish a happy Christmas to you and your family! 🙂
Been awhile since i stopped by, for that I apologize, though i am glad to see you have learned of self value. Comes through strongly in this poem. Well Done. Your Friend, Shoe
Thank you so much! It is nice to see you again =)
Counselling is very difficult – I often think you should be counselled before and after a session. Still, it’s true what they say – no pain without gain. And there is a lot to gain. Best wishes to you.
Thank you so much I do sometimes feel I could use counseling just to cope with counseling lol
