Soul Craters

It feels as though my life has been placed on pause as I think through, ponder, and question my soul.

It’s as though a bomb exploded in my head and I’m left to pick up the fragments of memories. My feelings and thoughts are both fragmented and spread over the expanse of my soul.

My mind and heart seem to have been separated in the blast. I have disparate thoughts and feelings to reconcile somehow. As my mind feels as though it has exploded, my soul feels as though someone reached inside my body and strangled my heart.

I’m left to wrestle with these specters of memories. I can’t tell if I winning or losing the battle for my soul. The words spoken continue to collide with the shores of my soul like great emotional waves of anger and sadness, serving only to confuse.

Do I move or pause?

Can I forgive and forget?
