Musing Monday - I am Bleeding

I am currently undertaking a shadow work course.  One of the activities for the course is to choose a word to accompany the phrase 'I am'.  Today's word was Bleeding...here is what came to me.

I am bleeding

Bleeding little pieces of my soul

Slowly dripping from the many wounds I’ve never taken the time to heal

Drip…drip…with each step I move monotonously forward tuned out to my body

To my needs, to my souls cry, to the wild, deep, dark within

That place that has hidden me, protected me, been denied by me

To the shadowy sentinels that have stood watch over all my hurts

And who hurt now, bleeding, waiting, wanting to be a part of me.
