Masquerade of Acceptence






Desperately clinging to mental illusions of truth
Held back by fear while continually being taunted
Singular journey riddled with repeated internal battles
Consciously choosing to evade decisions for self healing




Eclipsing apprehensiveness restricting growth of spirituality
Bombarding the heart and soul with uncertainty of ones self
Scrambling through a labyrinth of animosity and perplexity
Relentlessly scouring for justification of current situations




Emotional battle scars deepening with torturous flashbacks
Images decaying within the mind locking one in purgatory
Intestines agonizingly knotted with utter self skepticism
Illuminations of inner faith, dormant beneath deceptive veils




Masquerading the depth of distress from prying eyes
Portraying a sense of symmetry that is nonexistent
Externally projecting delight while internally sobbing
Disallowing the escape of a loathsome factualness






Attempting to shield ones self from continual tribulations
only further hinders ones ability for self expansion

    A WINNER!!

    Self doubt is the single greatest thing I have to overcome. I just remind myself that I am worthy and that whatever I do is good. It is a spiritual battle just to get rid of nagitive programming that is so instilled in all of us.
    I resist this nagitive thinking by writing and by doing things that my self doubt tell me I can never do!
    I came a long way of overcoming self doubt by recognizing it exists, by not letting it over ride my disire of change and to take contructive action and positive praise when I do something that is very hard and attempt to reach my goals.

    i liked it, but it felt really like wading through sticky toffee, lots of long words, etc, quite heavy. but apart from that, a good write.

    To answer your question.....the philosophy that is spoken of are these lines

    "Attempting to shield ones self from continual tribulations
    only further hinders ones ability for self expansion"


    Thus translation:


    "If you constantly try to protect yourself and avoid pains that you hold or that are which to come you prevent yourself from growining both on spiritual and personal level."



    I hope this helped some.

    Interesting poem

    I read this twice just to make sure I grasped it. I guess I was a little thrown by all the multisyllabic adjectives. I suspect you could remove some of the more cumbersome words and the images left behind would be just as powerful. I read through the other comments and was surprised that others seemed to grasp it immediately. What is your "awesome philosophy?"
    Thanks,
    Anne

    I normally dont use the the feature box to read poetry because you never really know what youre getting into, but when I saw your title I was blown away, and here I am. i dont critique, I comment, and Ill have you know that I shouldve written this!!! I loved it, the picture is perfect, because it doesnt show the battle of good and bad and love and hate between people, it shows that we ARE good and bad, and lovers and haters. Ying Yang, who wouldve thought? This is a perfect explanation of our own demons blinding our eyes and delaying our motivation, your good intentions of bettering your life are apparent and you arent blaming others for your troubles, and I think that more people sould come to this conclusion, that our own inabilities to conquer our often times self-inflicted fears, doubts and mental constipation are the true reason for our woes, not things that others may seemilngly burden us with........Sorry for the book I just wrote you, but I really enjoyed this poem and the great understanding you have of reality.

    Take Care,

    Awesome write! I have felt this way sometimes when I have a thousand reasons to doubt myself with. I love your variety of words, and organization of sentences.
    "Emotional battle scars deepening with torturous flashbacks
    Images decaying within the mind locking one in purgatory"
    I absolutely love these lines. Keep up the good work. I hope to read some of your other work in the future.
