Whoa!!! *sharp breaths*
That felt good to let off my chest!
I opened up to someone
and spilled and spilled
And spilled until i was told I was not crazy. That I was not alone.
Many of us have stinking skeletons in our closets. The kind people would hate us for if they knew.
Reputation. The word that has single handedly controlled most secrets. Keeping them under lock and key while the victims ferment from within.
Lots of truth is hidden for the sake of reputation.
Which really is ‘how will people perceive me if they knew this about me?’
This is sad because that means a box was moulded for you and you agreed to get in and shut yourself in.
We metamorphosize everyday. Cells are formed and some atrophy as we near our old age.
So does our character
You’re never really stuck in one phase.. one story.
Your life unfolds before our eyes as life presents its many sides
So it WILL be unfair for your reputation to not change. Impossible for you, to at every time ‘t’ not be bad in someone’s eyes or story. That someone, will have someone they love who will believe them and see you in the same bad light.
Truth bomb! That’s TOTALLY FINE.!!
It really is, dear anxious one. You are meant to grow and decay all in the same time.
As you age, so will your character grow. From time, experiences and mistakes.
With utmost prudence, I admonish you to not stay quiet. Open up and spill the pain eating you from the inside.
You’ll be shocked at the number of people who need your regrets as directional signs.
You went through that phase for a reason;
Simply to regret, recover, and teach another being
Let it go darling
Let it go.
Don’t hold back in sobs anymore
Let it go
Let it go
Don’t give in to the fear of shame anymore
Everyone will definitely have something to say
Good or bad
So why hide and let it kill you on the inside.
Let it go
Speak up.
Pray and tell someone in wisdom.
It’s a step in the direction of healing.
Silence kills,
Speak your truth
Don’t live life in the beautiful sun,
hard and frozen on the inside.
