Lifting the lid
Started shielding myself a long time ago as a useful tactic to not burst and overflow
Intentionally kept a lid on any emotion as told myself not to make a commotion
What used to work before is now a burden so I’m ready to reveal what is behind the curtain
Fine with letting feelings float to the surface as realizing they are there to serve a purpose
Stopped running away to lean in instead as finding value in what pops up in my head
Done sheltering my heart just to survive so opening it instead to feel alive and thrive
