Relapse

By Mac Guerreiro And just like that,It feels like it’s all gone,The painstaking work on becoming okay with the image in the mirror,It’s all disappeared,To where eye’m unsure,But it’s left me raptured,Weak,Questioning,Avoiding my reflection,Forcing my way through interactions,Eye just want it to stop,Eye want the work eye cultivated to come back,Eye want to be okay …

Lighter

By Mac Guerreiro The world has felt kinder,The breath has felt easier to inhale,The words have fallen with more levity,Today it all feels heavy,My body,My mind,My heart,The tears seem to be the only ones,That find effortlessness,As they edge the corners of my eyes,Some well over,Others retreat,All with ease,Eye envy them with a fire,For eye would …

The Journey of Anahata

By Mac Guerreiro Eye thought my throat was blocked,My indigo center cut off,Eye thought,It was to my surprise that my throat is fine,She’s a light,Guiding my heart towards her,For my heart is the one,Stuck listening to the same drum,An old song,That sings of betrayal,Of danger,Of loss,She holds on to all of the costs,The injuries suffered,Created …

Unpopular

By Mac Guerreiro Eye learned something recently and it’s that when a person is rejected by their peers in their formative years the nervous system registers that as pain… physical pain. Yes, the exclusion leaves you feeling pain. For me that pain sits in my heart. It’s sat there from the moment eye first felt …

F*ing Welcome

By Mac Guerreiro And just like that,She grew,And she knew,This isn’t what it was,I was stuck in a loop,“Welcome to the group,Eye’m so glad you’re here,”And the world looks a little bit clearer.

Resist

By Mac Guerreiro Eye resist the urge to look them up,Why look to what eye could never be?Just when Eye’m getting comfortable,Comfortable being me,Naturally,“Foolish girl”Foolish indeed,Thinking you can escape the chains of this society,Its mentality,It’s rules,And boundaries,Foolish indeed to resist,Now it feels impossible to persist.

Shadows

By Mac Guerreiro Sometimes this all feels temporary yet more temporary than most things,Sometimes it feels like borrowed time,Sweet, sweet time it is yet borrowed nonetheless,Voices shyly whisper in the depths, reminding me of my fears,Their whispers let me know Eye’m not here,Burrowed in my head eye come up for air, yet Eye’m still neck-deep …

Emergence

By Mac Guerreiro It feels like taking my first breath all over again, But lasting so much longer than before, Eye can feel the trust and strength rise, It fills my core, This fire, When was the last time it burned this way? Eye can’t recall, And even though there is deep pain, There’s also …

A New Route

By Mac Guerreiro A question was posed and the universe answers in kind, Eye’m not sure where this leads, But Eye’m willing to try, See it through so eye know, Whether it’s time to hold on for a bit longer, Or completely let this go.

Peace

By Mac Guerreiro Eye long for you, In fleeting moments eye experience your presence, They seem to last longer and longer each time, It’s true that eye am your opposite, The chaos within me feels so far from you, Yet you grace me with your light just when eye need you most, Every time your …
