Hi!
I’m Amelie, I like to fiddle around with words in my spare time. This page is dedicated to expressing my creative endeavors. I have a firm belief that creativity IS what makes us human. I try to write a poem a day and this silly little project is allowing me to finally do something with that nonstop inner monologue. So enjoy! ( or don’t I’m not your mother, I can’t tell you what to do.)
•In the darkness•
•
I lay awake and I feel the void creeping in
Why do I crave attachment?
Crave the feeling to belong
To someone or something
This feeling haunts me like a song
It wont leave my mind
As I lay here trying to sleep
I’m unable to unwind
The thought of ‘why’ peaks like a crescendo
Is it because at the end of the day I feel alone?
The darkness creeps in
While I lay in my bed
Feels just as dark as the shadows in my head
So I reluctantly face these demons
Trying to make peace
I now have to accept these reasons
Why everyone is capable of leaving me
This darkness that I lay in
Is this because of a childhood lost?
Or is this my own doing?
So now this is my cost
Attachment is the real demon
Enticing with its warmth to feel familiar
But then cuts deep
The angel detachment appears
Yielding his flaming sword
Cutting through the fantasy
That everything is meant for me
And so I wrestle with the demon and the angel
As they sit upon my shoulders
My mind, catching the blows
they’re caught in an endless tangle
Attachment once felt safe
Where I’d curl up on the days I felt scared
I’d go to my happy place
In the arms of someone who cared
As I get older, I’ve come to realize
Detachment is the only truth
But it’s hard to summarize
What it’s truly meaning is : you only need you
When your value is put in the hands of another
Attaching a part of your truth to their tether
You detach a part of yourself
To make room for their anchor
Is this why we lose ourselves in others?
To unburden ourselves
For a moment we can stop looking within
at all the reasons we’re unlovable
And start looking at why
Others are so incredible
We no longer work on our souls
Burying the pain
Of what happened long ago
Instead, we look at what we can gain
From flaming or egos
Attachment
The feeling of control
Made intoxicating
When you’re used to letting go
Detachment comes in and says
‘But the peace I bring
Can feel just as good as spring
For it opens the doors
you thought were closed
To new paths, you’ve never known
Cut away your limited beliefs
For once stop holding on so tight
You might actually remember to breathe’
