The Payback Phase

MENTAL-HEALTH

The dirty business of paying back your debts

there is a payback to the universe
for the energy used up for avoidance
for the energy wasted in unconscious mode
— my own legitimate debts

they will come up again
they will arise again
so that I could learn
and start paying back my debts
in a gentle conscious manner
but only if I chose to not ignore them

they will come again
those breath blocks
those anxiety attacks kept at a distance
those stinging sensations
for the completion of the cycle

be wise enough to invest enough time
utilize the privileges properly
to learn the art of paying back
to clear the mental frictions that stand in the way
and begin to pay back little by little;
with sufficient completion of cycles
one gets to extend their payback capacity

allow the being to go through
the unpleasant phase
complete the cycle
pay it back
— payback poem (?).
