Screaming in the silence
Screaming inside
but all they hear is silence.
Not a sound.
Don't say it out loud.
Don't tell them.
Your minds like
a carousel always going around.
Does it matter?
Do they really need to know?
Would anyone even notice
If you just got up to go?
But what if one day
that up & go turns
to just gone?
Wishing someone just
reached out making you realise
You aren't the only one.
'I'm ok' must be said
A million times a day.
But context is everything
when you say it in a certain way.
You are entitled to your feelings.
You are not wrong for your thoughts.
You don't have to justify yourself to anyone.
You don't have to accept the hate &
pretend you are alright when you're not.
You are human.
Life can be tough.
You should be able to say freely
that enough is enough.
I hope anyone reading this,
going through some stuff right now.
Isn't waiting for permission or
to be told what feelings are allowed.
This will always be a safe space to chat &
clear your mind.
No judgement here.
Anyone you meet has their own battles they're fighting.
So, that's why I choose to be kind.
When you're ready.
When you have the
courage to speak your truth & confide.
I'll be here.
Leading an ear & support
Right by your side.
