soul letting

on old habits dying, permanently

By ren s.Published 4 years ago 1 min read

they say your eyes are the gateways to the soul.

crying then, it seems, would be your soul bleeding.

maybe blood letting, then, is nothing to be afraid of.

humans stow away a lot of emotions.

and emotions are a source of guidance in our lives.

but emotions can be toxic.

blood is our life source.

but life can be toxic.

blood letting, then, perhaps can be cleansing.

yes it's an archaic bodily remedy sure but

...who's to say psychosomatic ails need no healing?

sometimes life is toxic to us.

now i understand.

sometimes it needs to flow out and away from us…

but i am too tired now.

i’ll just stick to crying.
