It's ok to be angry
I am quite angry these days. And not at anyone in particular. Just angry. I believe it's deep rooted and has been with me for some time. So I'm sitting in it, doing a pretty good job of not deflecting it, and writing about it. Here's a recent poem:
My practice brings up much fear anger and sadness these days
Yet I still step onto my mat and breathe
The breath encourages me to keep going
I sense this fear anger and sadness has been with me for some time
It's what prevents me from fully seeing another
I feel lately I've never truly looked into your eyes or seen you until now
Or seen myself
I want to look away but I keep looking
The voices in my head quiet a little more
My heart beats stronger
I notice the sensation of our feet touching under the table while we watch a movie
Something is shifting within me
Something is shifting around me
My relationships with others seem different
Even if no words are spoken
I try to let silence come
For in that lies understanding
I'm tired of talking
I don't know anything
I must trust in everything
I'm allowing myself to be angry
When perhaps I never allowed myself this feelibg before
The allowing will bring happiness
Resistance kept me in the dark
It feels good to be honest
And still be loved
