My Mind Runs Away
Sometimes my mind runs up, sometimes my mind runs down
When monstrous emotions surface resurface – impulsively my mind wants to run and run
My finger posed on triggers of hurt, desire, sex, relationship – the mind over stretches
A denied unconscious of trauma reverberate up and out – demanding controlling
Impulse demands me to pull – to let the mind off the leash – to let it run and run
Fighting this impulse is a newness to me and just thinking control is no help
Rather feeling my way into power – to trust being with emotion and not running
To be OK with the ebb of feeling – wash through me – be in me and not take over
To challenge the impotency of trauma by feeling, staying and not running
