If they told you from the beginning
This is not the way to be
This is not the way to live
And in that telling you were the one
Who found themselves gagging
On the partially expressed truths
Of your deepest being
They forced back down
Inside your throat
Is it any wonder that now
You struggle to breathe
And feel so often as if you are choking
While trying to open
And express your life
While crippled by
The stranglehold of oppression
Following you around the room
Like a thousand critical eyes
Raining down judgement
From on high
If so
Then surely
There comes a time
To become deaf dumb and blind
To it all
And if you need to cut yourself off
There is a learning and a cost
But a gift too will be hidden
Carefully wrapped up
Inside the loss
That will offer you
Freedom and renewal
As you finally find a way
To close your
Ears and heart and mind
To all stupid lies
They told you
Beautiful
Bless you … and thank you ❤
Most welcome 🙏
Another absolutely stunning read. Thank you.
