Would it be so bad if I completely lost it?
What if being unhinged is the medicine my soul needs right now?
To be wild
and untamed.
To fear
and release.
To observe the chaos
and see but not seek.
Oh, how beautiful it is to lose my f*cking mind.
All of the greatest that have existed also lost their minds.
First, they lost their patterns and habits.
Then, they lost their illusions of control.
Finally, they lost their small sense of self.
Growth is painful because it feels too close to death.
But death is not a window to nothingness!
Death is the window to rebirth!
Death is the miracle that is life.
So I fall.
Scream a thousand deaths and feel the skin shedding and peeling from my familiar bones.
When the time is right, I will finally see:
Here I am still.
Raw, wild and free.
