This poem channels the pain of potential denied—of being severed too soon, either by self-doubt, societal fear, or another's judgment. The milky sap of the vine recalls both human tenderness and botanical truth. This is the voice of the part that held beauty and danger, who was told they could not grow.
This poem captures the heartbreak of feeling unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. It speaks to a longing for connection and validation, paired with the fear that no one is truly listening. Likely penned during a period of rejection, it reflects the early inner dialogue of the wounded parts of self, especially the child or romantic within.
This piece blends dream logic, trauma insight, and heroic mythos into a moment of self-activation. Drawing from Ash (Evil Dead) and Spider-Man, it becomes a metaphor for battling internal darkness—how depression can feel like possession, and how waking up to fight back is the ultimate reclamation. The inner hero is not someone else—it’s you, when you choose to rise.
“But I guess that is what people do when confronted with something difficult to swallow. They lash out in denial and attack the one that's trying to help.” The Messenger’s Wound: Why Speaking Truth Often Gets You Burned First
A poetic interpretation of Genesis as a metaphor for healing and transformation. The chaos of early life paralleled the void of Genesis. Revelation brought light, and the “sky as stairway” offered a path forward. A reflection on how the battles of the past can linger in muscle memory, even when the beast is long gone.
“A powerful piece of inner commitment and surrender—yet one that must be re-examined in light of the harm done in the name of conquest. Both truths can exist. This is where the fracture shows—and where integration begins.”
