Pottery and healing

The clay is a flawless thing that changes in shape and size
The soft texture plays along with my mood
The white and brown try so hard to seep into my soul
​
The clay is a beginning to small creation of big vases and small sculptures
A beginning to hope and dreams
A beginning to a wonderful life that we aspire to live
​
With the magic touch
The clay can form into any physical being that we imagine in our minds
With the magic touch
The clay represents our subconscious mind
​
Sometimes we wonder
Sometimes we wonder
How a piece of clay can become a thing of wondrous beauty
​
A piece of clay is just like us
Raw and waiting to be moulded
Waiting to be to become a better version of ourselves
Self-compassion

​
I am such a compassionate being
Full of love for everyone around me
It is fun to help those who needs help
It is joyful to be there for others
​
Sometimes I love others too much
And I lack love for myself
I lack attention to my inner self who deserves much attention
Some say it is the case for a highly empathetic person
​
The darkness that envelopes me
Sinks me into depression for a long night
So long that my inner happiness pill amplifies
Like that of an over-joyful wizard
​
I heard a voice that speaks to me
Spoke to me in the most demeaning way
Spoke of my name
Blew on my cheeks
Followed me around like a towering monster
​
With psychiatric intervention
All subsided in the shadows of the mountains
Left me behind in awe of what just happened
​
Here I am
Still carrying the treasure of hope
That they will be gone forever
​
I envelop compassion for my inner being
I trust myself with self-love for inner peace
I gain harmony with my inner self
That will rise up like me
A hopeful 27-year-old girl who is on the way to her dreams
​
She is proud to say
She feels whole now
Feels complete with herself
Feels in harmony with the universe
