~~~Welcome to Heather's Haiku Corner~~~

Here I will be showing off my (in my opinion kinda bad haikus, but the point is to put my creativity out there, not care about such frivolous things as "quality") Haikus!

   Mania, Despair 
   I reject BOTH those poisons 
   I am free, REBORN
  

  
 Stained Glass Mosiac - Written on 14/11/2022
   Absorb all around 
   Me, mosiac of colour
   Never true, not me
   

~ ~ ~ I write a lot of haikus when I'm in inescapable places in my mind, using them as a quick focus/grounding technique and an attempt to gather what of my tangible thoughts there are. This one is no different. I wrote this during a time of quite severe social/masking burnout. In order for me to fully relate to others I sorta have to let them into myself a little, feeling their thoughts & emotions allows me to better relate and stick out less. The thing is, they never really leave, anyone I've let into myself like that stills resides even if miniscule and in some dim corner of my mind. Thus, I am a constant mosiac of colour and experiences. ~ ~ ~

  ~I feel it around
  It surrounds, intoxicates    
  Heather, Here and Now~ 

~ ~ ~ This one is special. This was the result of a tiring, enduring process to find ourself again. Rebirthing hurts, it hurts your body, it hurts your mind, it can even hurt your soul. But for people without a solid identity, who are more fluid and nomadic with their personalities, this is the only way to survive. Without it, without a grounding personality, life and relationships become confusing, it makes me dissociate, flowing like water, just like myself. However, I was given a choice, either rot and fester further....Or, channel it elsewhere. "Let it fuel us" as we say to The Circus, and it was one of the easiest decisions we've ever made. Thank you for your guidance Wardens, We would be lost without you ~ ~ ~
