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
