How I Really Felt

I wish I had the balls to tell them, How I really felt! I wish I spoke up on that day, Instead, I rather dealt, With what was said and what was done To me… they broke my spirit! They said I’d never make it far, And that I should just quit it! I left the career I wanted then, With shame, I took the pelt. I wish I had the balls to tell them, How I really felt! 08 August 2018 Sponsor: Line Gauthier

That's life. All along struggle. As you will experience more, you will gain guts to tell them. Well-composed. All the best. What do you do now? You own a long surname.

Thank you Kindly, Anisha. Very true about all the learning and gaining of guts along the way :) I am a freelance writer and a Dialectical Behavioral Therapist. Yes, the surname is thanks to my husband lol :)

Well, you have just - sort of - told us a bit of how you felt. Have you started a new career? Many wishes, Kai
