Hello darkness my old friend
Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Fools said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

‘FINALLY’ – United as ONE in TOTAL but I had to Gopher It. (2017)

We ALL hold our OWN key to our happiness within. BELIEVE IT!
We are ALL teachers
We are ALL students
We are FOREVER children.
As a child, some people thought I was very outgoing and confident and I was to a degree but that was SPIRIT (extrovert) who took the lead. My SOUL (empath/introvert) was actually highly sensitive (HSP) and easily hurt.
Like a lot of people, I have experienced bullies, TOO MANY bullies and that is why I cannot tolerate people of this nature.
In 2015 I told my sister how I had come to realise my SOUL and my SPIRIT were separate entities. I had realised how detached I had become to cope with life and the ROLES that I had needed to play.
SPIRIT had learnt to take the lead from a young age and I recall certain times where I knew I had to step up ‘for others’ and so SPIRIT materialised.
SPIRIT was not always present for SOUL but would learn to be to protect the SOUL from hurt.
SPIRIT learned how to laugh, make jokes and entertain with stories in an attempt to deflect bullies which did feed SOUL and gave SOUL a break because she did not fit and there the divide started.
SPIRIT learned to stand in front and defend the SOUL and would have to eventually learn to physically fight which was not easy for SPIRIT but it was survival. It became her job, she became ‘PROTECTOR’.
Throughout the year’s SPIRIT subconsciously became programmed but did not SEE to what extent she had.
Then ‘something’ happened in 2015/2016 that tested SPIRIT in a similar way that she had been tested once before but this TIME it hit harder and she did not understand how this could because she did not believe that anything could ever FEEL so SOUL destroying.
SPIRIT was so exhausted from it and from the injustice she felt AGAIN, that she sat down next to SOUL and said ‘I think we are done this time’ and SOUL was lost because SPIRIT has always pulled through.
SOUL needs SPIRIT and SPIRIT needs SOUL (Yin and Yang) – so what happens now? where do we go from here? and as hard as SPIRIT tried to get up for SOUL, she couldn’t – And ‘in the silence’ together they fell for another TIME – back into the abyss, a place that SPIRIT thought she could not take SOUL again.
ALONE and in pain they laid together and the coverlet called darkness slowly pulled itself over them, once more.
