| An "Emotional" knife in the Heart...
|
|
|
I’ve had a knife in my heart, in the back, and anywhere else someone could manage to get one in…
If you’ve ever loved, not just in a romantic sense, but family/ friends as well, then you’ve probably been crushed at some point in time or another. But when you learn from it, that then becomes apart of your growth process. Yes, I’m one of those “there’s a lesson in everything” kind of people. I look at it like this…You ever hear about a serious accident (or at least seen it in a movie/ TV show or something) where the person was impaled by an object and still alive? However they couldn’t remove the object or ELSE the person would DIE?!? But the clincher is, if they don’t remove it within a certain time period…they’ll DIE ANYWAY!?!
Well some emotionally inflicted wounds in our lives, although it may not draw blood, are just as painful! If not MORE SO!!! Sometimes we’re forced to walk around with a knife stuck in the dead center of our hearts because we’ll bleed out.
i.e. You wonder why a girl stays with a guy who treats her more like gum on the bottom of his shoe, then like a Queen? Well there you have it….the very thing that’s killing a person in a sense, may also be the very thing that’s keeping them alive! At least in their mind at that point in time, regardless of what others on the outside looking in may think.
Sometimes we walk around with SEVERAL knifes sticking out of various places and slowly proceed to remove them at our own pace as we go. No matter how strong we are, some wounds will be so great that no matter how long we wait, we’ll still loose enough “blood” to bring us too death’s door so to speak, but if we survive…we grow stronger for the pulling of the next knife yet.
At some point in the midst of our growth we find that some people can no longer even pierce our skin, let alone inflict serious pain. Then there are those who may still manage to hurt us but our strength seemingly shrinks their weapon on impact so the scar isn’t so big!
In a bad situation where a knife is involved (one that successfully strikes it’s target), you’re bleeding either way….you can die slowly and painfully if you never remove it, or you can rip it out and hope you’ll survive with some fast action ER treatment, or you can take you’re time, remove it and began the healing process. A person with an “emotional” knife aimed at your heart only has as much power as you let it, and even if you don’t think you have control over that, you should at least know you have control over your method of treatment and the healing process!

It basically all depends on where the knife punctured you. An emotional knife is always dead accurate and you can never see it comming. I just leave the emotional knife in me till it's time to get over myself and pull it out. But I'll never forget the pain and anguish I had bared when it was in my heart so many years ago. That scar is forever engraved in my heart and soul.

hmm, well I can understand never forgetting, there are emotional wounds from years ago that still remain open slightly and even when I think they are completely healed, something manages to open it back up just a little...like having a paper cut on ya knuckles!
So there's an element of this blog I could've mention...
Even after the knives are long gone, we'll still have the scars to remind us of what we went through, how we felt, what we accomplished and how we survived.
Thanks for your input!

i think it depends on how deep the knife drives in. and even when you pull it out, there's still a scar.
i love this post, its the perfect metaphor!! and you're right about the whole lesson thing. we always learn, or grow, from our mistakes. and we know what to do or not to do the next time.
