“The Mother’s Wound/Cycle Breaker” – A Poem by The Auracle

I think healing our mother wounds are so critical to healing our society and reestablishing love and unity among families, communities and nations. But this begins within us.

The Mother’s Wound/Cycle Breaker

Break the cycle.
Heal the womb to heal the world;
the deep waters of our formation –
through distortion –
pollute the mind, shatter the heart
and erode our foundation.

A young girl, thrown into the cycle of excruciation
grew into a mother who absorbed the shock of her violation
like a sponge, then retaliated,
multiplying the thorns and venom she was fed.

Her pain is your portion:
drowning in the waters of her sufferation –
the portal of your creation
was your tomb of strangulation.
Born of her flesh – your mother, your monster.
The first look into her eyes, you realized
you were born internalized hatred, externalized.

Break the cycle.
Survived this death pool,
emerging to fight chaos and
shadows you cannot touch or grasp.
Repressed. Your existence a bind –
a shackle to seething scorn –
her sick seed sewn soul-deep
into your infernal mind.

Now rage is your portion:
Stepping on toes, crushing egos
and watching tears flow,
’cause pain is connection.
Then in the water of their eyes, you realize
the monster is your own reflection, and you are
truly internalized hatred, externalized.

Break the cycle.
Quench that fire in your eyes
and love as you should have been –
with gentle smiles and a calm repose.
Gather debris from weary soles.
Give and give…
Love for their pain, healing for strain.
Don the cape, make every sacrifice,
even burn at the stake.
Let them take and take,
deplete and drain.
Your power, for their shame.

Is suffering your portion?
Now all that remains in your mirror
is a shell with sunken eyes,
your cape is your shroud, and your shadow
now the monster.
Much to your surprise, you’ve become
externalized hatred, internalized.

Break the cycle.
Finally shift the paradigm.
Right the wrongs and pluck up toxic roots in mind.
You’re not the repository of venom, hatred, or pain;
nor a vessel for their release, guilt, or shame.
You were not made for a cycle of pain to pass on yet again.
No. You are the blessed daughter of a womb
with a mother wound.

The treasure of pleasure is your portion!
For you will break this cycle, and write the wrongs,
widening minds to scrape out sick seeds – key to cutting
the umbilical cord of this core wound.
Unlock your mind and
you’ll find out what you’re truly about.
Look into your eyes and
break the waters of your reformation –
a new foundation.
Let it flow. Shed that bitter blood,
for your rebirth is the healing of Mother Earth.
Yes. You are externalized internalized love.
