Difficult Conversations

Difficult conversations
By Michelle Morris

We often avoid
Difficult conversations
We convince ourselves
It's easier
To go with the flow

But, try as we might
Our bodies betray us
We subconsciously communicate
Through our movements
And our affectations

And if we don't honour
Our truth and our needs
We tend to get disease
That feeds off of our
Emotions

The triggering begins
And can spiral 
Out of control
We need to get real
To be calm and feel whole

And time and space
Created with peace
Allows us the freedom
To have difficult conversations
With greater ease

The way to healing
Our bodies, minds and souls
Is in part dealing with
Everything in us
That is not a blessing to hold

When having those
Difficult conversations
Please take care of
Yourself and the feelings
Of your loved ones 

We set an example
And a beautiful intention
When we treat others
With love and light
And compassion
