Amala Paul Instagram – You missed a spot:
Have you swept the floor? So soon?
My mom would then go on to point at a microscopic spot between the teapoy and the bamboo sofa and tell me I missed the two nano specks of dust.
When I look at what I’ve let life do to me, I realize the dust I missed in different spots has now transformed into a colossal gargoyle within me; standing guard and letting feelings only drip and not flow freely outside of me.
Had I picked up every last piece of my broken heart, would I have stopped settling for less?
Maybe if I swept my mind clean after the monster rubbed against me, I wouldn’t fear intimacy.
Would it have helped if I bathed the soiled words projected right at me in poetry?
What if I had soaked every insult in pure self-love. Would I then be able to live life on my own terms?
Perhaps I should soak yesterday’s memories, tumble dry today’s damages, and hang my dreams for a better tomorrow out in the open.
I’m off, I’ve got to do some deep cleaning.
Thanks MAMMA, MY ROOTS, BALANCE, HOME, INFINITE LOVEEE AND FORGIVENESS ❤️ #HappyMothersDay | Posted on 10/May/2020 14:34:50
