My hands form fists
It gets harder to breathe
Everything is blurry
Tears burn my eyes
My voice cracks
You’ll never know what you did to me
Do you even want to?
Speaking ourselves can be really painful for most of us. Sometimes even admitting certain things to ourselves is difficult. We keep our mouths shut while letting the thoughts play in our mind over and over again till we get sick. We do it because we’re afraid of reactions, we do it because we’ve been hurt before and have major trust issues and eventually we do it just because we’re tired.
We can’t live like this though! I mean can it even be called living? Just existing like this, damages our soul. We all have our special and completely unique journey. There’s no need to be a certain way, there’s no need to be anything you don’t want to be. Dream if you want, anything can be a dream, even wanting to eat your favourite flavour ice-cream the next time you’re out.
When we start acknowledging our desires and needs and we know that they will always be different from that of others, then we can start loving ourselves and when we do that we can start speaking ourselves. We need to speak out from a place of compassion and understanding, not anger. In life not everyone will understand us or why we choose to do a certain thing or be a certain way, but that’s okay as long as we understand ourselves and are proud. And when we do that for ourselves we extend that energy out to others, it’s okay how they see us, but we will see them as people on their unique journey and with time maybe we can help create a world of love.
