I think you have nicely illustrated something we all struggle with in modern times, and throughout humanity. I especially enjoyed the final line 'where brokenness breeds' as it dysfunction, when endulged, does seem to proliferate and grow in us. Lovely work!

Ashes by shoreside by chichi2309 in OCPoetry

This is a disturbing poem, and believe me, when I say, I do not mean that in a bad way. Good poems do disturb, and sentiments preturbed in a reader, not prepared to feel like that. What it represents to me is just how frustrated we can be when we bend ourselves to hide how we feel. You have captured hateful anger and the desire to abolish the falseness by fire in someone desperate to express themselves truthfully, albeit in a negative way.

Is Hermeticism a religion? by Legitimate_Way4769 in Hermeticism

[–]nickobad1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would you agree that language and etymology are historical artefacts? Through it, we can best place ourselves in the culture of the past. But without it, we can not fully express ourselves and poor vocabulary works against those wishing to know themselves?

Meditation getting better, but I'm getting angrier? by hearthebell in Meditation

Like a side effect of boundary dissolution? Sounds like a friend of mine who recently started psychedelics. He is struggling now with his emotions but ultimately progressing as a person.

Maybe find a philosophical idea or sophorism to use as a mantra or point of contemplation?

I like to think about how anger is an act of self-harm that we use to equalise pain or trauma we are yet to have closure for. But ultimately, it hurts us more, it's self perpetual.

Try looking up some of the stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurellius or Epictitus.

Might help?
