The Struggle Of Becoming

The Clash Of Identities Past And Identities Hidden

Here in the Darkness...

I Feel...

Confined...

Cramped...

Limited...

I am Not What I Was...

But I Have Not Yet Become Whatever is Next.

I had a Dream...

I was Myself...

Fully and Completely...

I Flew Through the Sky with a Freedom in My Identity.

The Dream Felt More Real than I Feel Now in the Darkness.

I Told Others...

I Would Fly High in the Sky...

They Laughed at Me...

Told Me It Would Never Happen...

That I Would Never Be Able To.

"Look At You," they Told Me.

"You are Destined to Crawl in the Mud and Dirt".

That is what They Said to Me.

The Identities They Gave Me...

Nothing..

No One...

Insignificant...

But these are Not the Identities I Wanted...

I Knew that within Me...

Somewhere...

My Potential was More.

I was Filled with Something Different from the Others.

But I was Not Sure What.

So I began...

To Search...

To Seek...

To Wonder...

What Could be Possible for Me?

What If I Could Become More than They Ever Imagined?

They Told Me that it was Dangerous to Climb.

To Go was Insane...

To Try would be My Death...

But Something Inside Me told Me that I Must Climb...

I Must Try.

I Must Reach.

So I Began to Climb.

Higher and Higher I Went.

Further and Further away from All that I Knew.

I Did Not Perish...

I Still Lived...

I Got Higher and Higher and Began to Find Something Different...

Something New...

Something Exciting...

But Also More Lonely.

Few Tried to Climb.

Fewer Strove to Go as High as I Dared.

But My Dream was for the Sky.

So Higher I Went.

It began to Become More Isolating.

More Empty.

Then the Doubts Came...

Perhaps they Were Right...

Maybe this was Foolish to Climb So High and to Believe...

The Sky was Possible.

Something Different Began to Overcome Me...

I Knew...

If I Went Back Down...

It Would Be To Admit that I had Indeed been Foolish...

But to Do So would be to Kill what I Knew Myself to Be Becoming...

Something Different...

Something New...

So I Climbed as High as I was Able...

I was Alone...

The Loneliness began to Wrap Itself Around Me...

Smothering...

Clausterphobic...

Suffocating...

I began to become Closed Off from the World Around Me...

Now I Sit Here...

In Darkness...

Contemplating My Entire Life to this Point...

All that I Have Been...

All that Others have Called Me...

But Today...

There is a New Identity that I am Beginning to Understand...

One Which the Others Would Have Never Understood...

One that...

I Have Always Been...

Yet have Never Fully Grasped...

So I Sit Here...

Waiting to Break Free.

Psychophysiological Mastery

For Paid Subscribers

Sometimes, Metaphors Speak More Truly than the Facts.

This is One of Those Articles for Me.

A Metaphorical Poem (Which is also being Submitted for a Contest), that is Explaining Something Real that I have been Experiencing and Struggling With.

And it is Interesting because it has do with Identities.

Now, many times in the Past I have Discussed the Ten Categories of Identities.

One of those, which I talk Less About, is the Core Identity…

It is What Remains when We Strip the Other Identities Away.

There is an Identity that I have Discovered to be a “Core Identity” for Me…

But How it has Interacted with Other Identities has been Interesting.

Let’s Dive In…
