[Thespiritexpress] Poem Read at last "Pathwork"

[Toni Bernbaum]

> 
> 
> This is dedicated to all of us who are serious about shadow work…….its challenges and ultimate rewards……with love….Toni
> 
> Retrieval
>  I want it all back.
> Every time I hung my head,
> every word held on my tongue,
> every lie I’ve told,
> every piece of me I bought or sold,
> thinking it would get me love.
>  
> I want it back.
> The beg-your-pardons,
> the I-didn’t-mean-tos,
> the bowing out backwards,
> the pleading, performing, and scheming.
> The seducing and hiding.
> The waiting.
> The pretending to be what I’ve never been
> with a righteous, condescending
> “I’m above that” grin.
>  
> Give it to me.  
> The key to unshackle my shame,
>  my anger and blame.
>     I want to own it, wear it, and not have to explain.  
>                                                                                                                                                          I want the truth to embrace
> As I take back the pain.
>  
> I want to conjure-up all my fears in a potion,
> I want to drink it and swallow all my emotions.
> I want to own the devil in me  -   take back my power - get myself free-
>  I want the whole of me strutting
> when I walk down the street
>  
> I want my dark, down, dirty self back,
>  
> Its black magic wings
> arched at my shoulders,
> then aimed like a warrior’s arrow,
> I’m going to bend the bow of my body
> so far back that nothing but its original target
> is clear, and then, Lord Mama,
>  
> I’m gonna let go.
>  
>
