i am calm i am storm

to stop is to die
feel feelings
is the way back

to love
first
yourself
then you begin
to feel

love is not possible
without full-range emotions
only dark isolation
where storm clouds replenish
even as you are depleted

surrender is the only way
forgiveness
of yourself
to take step one
admitting there is a problem
