Emotional Poison

💀E M O T I O N A L • P O I S O N 💀

Solitude is an amazing teacher. When we distance ourselves, we turn down the volume of the outside world, and we switch on the light within.

We start listening, we start feeling our own rhythm, we become one with our wave, and recognise ourselves in the form of an ocean. This is the magnitute of the soul contained, into just one human body.

Now imagine a body that is unaware of what’s on the inside? Imagine the effect the environment could have on them.

This is how people become walking storms. They are unable to recognize the power of their ocean, some are lost in the waves, and dark clouds, some feel only thunder, and rage, not recognising the stillness in the same shores.

That is our truest form… all else is cause and effect.

Once we realise this, we notice the people in our lives that cause tidal waves, and we no longer add to the destruction that they bring; because we are captains of our own seas.

Knowing yourself is mastering the waters beneath your own ship, you cannot control the weather that people bring, but you can learn to recognise how they affect your own.

Hi, my name is Leisharn Gregory. I'm a writer under the pseudonym of Liem. You can find my poetry under liempoetry on Instagram, and Facebook.

I’m an Australian Indigenous (Kija) & Northern Japanese women, born in Western Australia. My interests are in Art and writing. I love reading about Molecular biology, Astrology, Mythology, and the connection between science, and spirituality. Through my love of science, esoteric and metaphysical knowledge, I can see the connection between stories of creation from ancient cultures, and modern-day science; like a hidden bridge lost in symbolism.
I believe it's much easier to memorise through inter-generational storytelling; an example the Petroglyphs and Pictograms in ancient rock art (before writing was invented) before we were able to write down and easily distribute scientific terminology and knowledge, whether it be in mathematical equations, biological, chemical processes, names, classification, and the order of which they fall into in our plant and animal kingdoms, etc universal law.

I'm currently studying a Diploma in Psychotropic Plants and Hypnotherapy PL regression, and due to enrol in further studies to enhance my knowledge of similar sciences. I have a great love for reading, I love a good cup of coffee (methylanxines) and spending time with my little family.

I get great satisfaction out of connecting, inspiring and motivating people, in my opinion, we are all important no matter what race, socioeconomic status, physical aesthetic etc. I believe in the power of positivity, Inclusion and Love, and I always follow my heart.
