XVI The Tower

 



I've been thinking a lot of about politics, and tarot. Not at all related, really, just what's been on my mind. In tarot there are a few cards that everyone always freaks out about. The tower, being one. And it is, it's a rough card, because no matter how you try to soften that blow, it still signifies catastrophic change. But the thing is, I think sometimes you need to see that, the flames, and that tilt that seems so wrong, because it IS eye opening. It's harder to keep pretending that nothing is wrong. Everything is, of course, open to interpretation. But what it boils down to is, you can either ignore the message, or start the work that needs doing.

•pick your poison•


pick my poison?
today it's nicotine and conversation
one for the nerves and one for the soul
both are medicinal, in the oddest ways
gateways and crutches
one harms and helps,
one hurts and heals

i'm not


Unexpected early morning arguments and unresponsive anxiety meds are not a good combination for anything.  Except angsty poetry, apparently.

There is this writing challenge that I really wanted to do...but so far I have found every single prompt to be triggering.  Not because there's actually anything wrong with them, but because of where I am mentally.
