Spiral Safely

Round and round we spin.

So yes.
If we spiral
We do it beautifully
On purpose
And we land on our feet.

This is not collapse.
It is a controlled rotation.

Integration

I learned to divide myself
not out of cleverness
but out of need.

To keep the engine running,
each part learned its station:
one for winning,
one for not sitting still long enough
for the floor to give way.

Stillness was expensive.
Motion paid the bills.

I organized my inner life
like a system under pressure
efficient,
quiet,
appearing whole.

Part of You

Could it be that you were just a mirror, reflecting back at me? Was our connection state dependent? Did you feel my warmth? Or was it just a reverie?

Reality Testing

Intense feelings that are separate from the situation’s reality. Must be tested. Seek external perspectives, check assumptions, focus on facts, be objective, logical, ask questions, and grab a paper and pen to tally negative self-labels against actual behaviors to analyze discrepancies.
