More on "Poem 25 Relapsing": Artistic Integrity

I wrote Poem 25 two days ago using a different process than almost everything else on the Lovemekanism.org Arts and Humanities blog. The difference is that I wrote it with no intention on sharing it... ever. I do write whatever comes, but I admit that I had to check my artistic integrity with this one.

More on Poem 22: Fear of Fear - Phobophobia

I attribute a lot of my peace lately to my three favorite words. And achieving none of those things were possible without overcoming a great deal of fear. It was monumental for me to do so, but it also opened my eyes to the paralyzing fear that  many people live with everyday-- we as human beings-- suck and unable to become whole for those things. And it seemed that everywhere I looked, in everyone I met, and in nearly everything I read is about basically about fear- some for just cause but a lot of it is irrational to the individual. So I'm clear, I do believe in healthy fear, but it seems that it has become largely unhealthy to my corner of society at least.
