I know why it's called a soul tie because two souls meet they connect they bond they tie The connection is like a knot when they try to separate pieces of the soul break while the heart asphyxiates. @ Copyright, Tolbert, M D., All rights reserved

VOL. I You disguised yourself as an angel of light flitting around with smiles and joy words like sweet nectar dropping hope and light VOL. II. I see a crack in your wings the flitting has become more of an annoying thumping your countenance shows slightly darker once refreshing words are dripping sinister sarcasm as a sword drips blood from piercing VOL. III A hew of darkness invades the light you once exposed You no longer fly anger exudes your every movement your countenance is the color of death your words, the sound of death VOL. IV WHO ARE YOU? Fanged creature, with claws like a dragon Hell is your countenance your tongue destroys everything it touches Licking the flesh and sinew from the bones You have given yourself over consummated with evil and now you are no longer Sealed forever in your book of lies. @ Copyright, Tolbert, M D., All rights reserved

I don't know who I am or what I am Why I am the way I am Constantly fighting between my heart and mind Wanting to tell everyone everything But also afraid to speak up Wanting to fulfill responsibilities Being the eldest daughter of the house But lacking the courage to do so Maybe I have taken myself down the wrong path Lost in the chaos of my thoughts Trying to make sense of it all Fearing judgment and rejection Keeping my true self hidden Behind a mask of strength and composure Struggling to find my place In a world that constantly demands perfection The pressure weighs heavy on my shoulders As I navigate through life's uncertainties Trying to find my voice In a sea of voices that drown me out Feeling small and insignificant In a world that expects so much From someone who is still trying to figure it all out I long to break free from these chains To find the courage to be vulnerable To embrace my flaws and imperfections To let go of the need to control And just be me, whoever that may be To trust in the journey of self-discovery And find peace within the chaos But the fear grips me tightly Holding me back from taking that leap of faith Keeping me stuck in this cycle of doubt Questioning my worth and purpose Wondering if I will ever find my way Through the darkness that clouds my mind I am a puzzle with missing pieces A canvas waiting to be painted A story waiting to be told But I am also a warrior Fighting against my own insecurities Striving to break free from my self-imposed chains And find the strength within to rise above So I will continue on this journey Embracing the unknown with open arms Trusting that in the end I will emerge stronger, wiser, and more confident Ready to face whatever may come And finally discover who I truly am.

The waters of life kept trying to drown me pulling me below the surface caught in the under currents Every time I swam harder fought to get up I got pulled under Then I learned to stay calm Stop exhausting myself I will get to my destiny One second One minute One day at a time Relax Breathe @ Copyright, Tolbert, M D., All rights reserved

Life is like a pressure cooker and when it presses you searing you what's in you comes out When life presses me a song arises a poem is born I sing about it I write about it I speak to it I release the pressure that presses me. @ Copyright, Tolbert, M D., All rights reserved
