TRUST ME

If I warn I'll start lying to you
and then I do
am I then
telling the truth?

SPIRIT SPIT


You're elevated (connected to the depths of the seven seas)
You're stimulated (I can feel your pulse and now it's part of me)
I'll be creative (anything you want I will forever be)
For you I'll save it

Spiritualize my sensuality, in your eyes, between you and me

burn the books they've got too many names and psychosis
all this incriminating evidence would surely haunt me
if someone broke into my house

LOVE AT FIRST REJECTION

New Jersey, 2016 ©Anna Leevia



Reject me
I'll love you

Confirmation bias
don't you see
what you want
double blind

I am clear
in my mind.

Reject me
I'll love you

ADDICTION

I cannot fight not to be misread one more time
I cannot fight not to be misled one more time

How can I complain when Im the one who reaches for it?

DO YOU BUY VINYL?

THE END.

We leave it like this.
not gonna insist.
We're sad and upset
Exploring, we said.
I guess we are right.
We tried. We're fine.

THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING

The boyfriend criticizes her for posting about losing her mother
Yet he offers words of consolation for anyone that shares the loss of their pet


Are we making sense yet?






"No "we" should be taken for granted when the subject is looking at
other people's pain."

MAN AND HIS SYMBOLS


"Man's recurring interest in - almost obsession with - the symbols of the unconscious have a profoundly significant, almost a nourishing and sustaining inner abstraction - wether they occur in the myths and fairy tales or in visual arts, which satisfy and delight us by a constant appeal to the unconscious. "

Carl Jung, Man and His Symbols

Eugen Bleuler

Hysteria, types of pain and abnormal behaviour are in fact symbolically meaningful. They are one way in which the unconscious mind expresses itself, just as it may in dreams, and they are equally symbolic. “Complexes” - repressed emotional themes that can cause constant psychological disturbances or even, in many cases, the symptoms of neurosis. No individual symbolic imafe can be said to have a dogmatically fixed, generalized meaning.
