Monday Motivation: What Happened? Where have I been?

by The Shadow

Greetings,

So I am sure you may have noticed that I missed last months Motivational Monday Post. If not, well now you know I had. While I was eager and ready to write I could not, due to my laptop being in the shop.

Today’s quick unofficial motivation is to remember radical acceptance of yourself, but also to radically accept others around you. We all think differently, but we all are human. My official Monday Motivation will be on handling emotions and hopefully posted by next Monday.

Thank You all for remaining with me.

Monday Motivation: Accepting Life Radically

by The Shadow

What is radical acceptance? The other day one of my best friends said in a chat group, “People really need to learn to radically accept their disabilities.” This prompted another person to say something about not having heard of it, which confused us because our whole chat was a bunch of people who radically accepted they were disabled. Some of us were doing so, it seems, with no idea what the word for it was.

Who?

by The Shadow

What shade of me am I today
am I light, childish and mewing
Dark, ancient, and brooding
Am I the educated Geologist?
Or the observant parent?
Am I the myrid of diagnosis
That dot my chart?
I am simply… Damien

Mine

by The Shadow

longing to whisper the name on lips
untainted by false conversations
Anika goddess of time abide me
Sora my stormy moon fly to me
No my darling Sakura tree
I know it can never be

Nightmare

by The Shadow

I dream of empty spaces
rooms vast and void
no faces
an endless sea of agony

I dream of dark despair
no light to find for me
The people do not care
that others outside dying

Wake us please
I no longer wish to dream
the nightmare the disease
is callousness of men

Forget Me

by The Shadow

A shadows pain in icy vein
Doth carve the shallow path
Down the road with no redemption
Is this sweet death at last
Alas tis not, we the dark eternal
Live forever pulsing crystal beats
Within our chest as if a heart
Everlasting carries the memories
Let us crush the stone, a curse
May we forget who we were once more

The Darker Days Behind Me

by The Shadow

A torrent of words meant only for my sorrow
Why then? does one not know the dreams?
entertain not idle fantasy, Sora the illusion
Ignore and chase nothing for reality is here
In fire and air Aldra and Kyra ignite
but me i exist in boring monotony
I fought the dark the void of mind
India’s maiden returns like dashed hope unkind
A dreary storm for stronger men
A monsoon my soul it rends
why be sad when joy abounds
I have a love yes more than one around
sweet beloved spouse of mine
and lady Sora in dreams to find
when I need compassion to plead
I can lean on my pet my dear Kitty
Not alone yet solitary not deluded no
I fight the dark with these
plead I then to ask why remind me?
