Author: PoetessLaureate

I am a writer, counselor, and student of human behavior with a particular fascination for the unseen forces that organize our lives. My work combines psychology, field theory, complexity theory, attachment, and personal reflection to explore how people become who they are, how they change, and how they become entangled in one another’s stories. Psychological Cartography is my ongoing effort to map the terrain of the mind and the relational fields we inhabit. Through essays, poetry, and original concepts, I explore topics such as emotional contagion, projective identification, identity formation, social influence, and the hidden architectures of human connection. This is a place for curiosity, reflection, and the search for deeper coherence.

Protected and Affirmed

I will be the salve to mend the wounds of your broken heart

I will be your rock

I will be the foundation for you to build upon

To uplift you with my strength

To right your wrongs

Keeping your outlook bright when you are feeling bleak

I will be the anchor to keep you grounded

The air to help you breathe

The wind beneath your wings to keep you free

Here is my shoulder…

Lean on me

Rest assured

In my arms

You can just BE

The robots, disrespectfully

disrespectfully, the robots in single file

march to the tune of a maddening beat

busy feet in unison greet

The road to a common purpose

The comaraderie!

No sense of self, just US

Combining for the big dive

Like a wild river over a waterfall

Like a descending cannonball

Obliterating all, to dire depths

There, their spirit-less souls are kept

Photoperiodism in Quarantine

Fading…

An internally reflective thing

A ghost of a being

Floating in and out of unlit rooms

No windows

Languishing in Gloom

… and an impending sense of Doom

Maniacal monologues with oneself

Reflecting ruefully to dire depths

On every minuscule thought

Every shadowy suspicion

Every duplicitous desire

Unknown sources obsessively

Spinning the windmills of thought repetitively

Going over each and every little thing

With a fine-tooth comb of paranoia

And a pomade of persecution

To lay my edges with conviction

Assuring me, that now I know

There are no doubts to cloud my thoughts

In dark solitude, I grow

Akashic Upload Unsuccessful

Dare to disintegrate into infinite

Each spark of energy

Expands exponentially

Unlocking dazzling daydreams

A nightmarish scene

Distorting the perception of reality

Yet breathing life into the dreary

Bringing enlightenment to dead lands

A dead woman walking with tied hands

Spirit less entity

Being dragged to dire depths

With no hope to transcend

No reprieve from blight

No blessed end

Blind, roaming unconscious and in pain

Cognitive Dissonant

Rendered reality resistant

Too triggered for existence

Delusions of persecution

Psychosis consistent

The Voices hounding me again

Offering masochistic penance for my sins

Head spinning vertigo

Ruminating obsessively

Submersed in a stressful ideology

It has captured me

I am immersed in it completely

Psychosomatic sunk cost fallacy

There is nothing to recover

Just a dreamy fantasy
