While using anger as protection
May invite interpretation as rejection
Does feeling sadness makes you weaker
or does it build a human character
And what are all those instincts
about fighting,flight,freeze or fawn
And still other things are needed as protection when dealing in deflection
Stored in the attic of my mind
another forgotten lost and found
To clear this stuff that hinders life becomes a sacred rite
Take those things no longer needed
put them where they need to be
A dusty exploration begins a
messy process worthwhile in the end
While it may intimidate this mind
my soul rejoices everytime
Beyond the angst I choose to reach
for the truest part of me
Some things will be discarded
while others are embraced
Whats valued most of all to me
a personal sense of choice
