Constantly fighting.
Sometimes it’s easier just to give in.
To stay silent, save your voice, don’t
Shout into the coming gales.
Running against the wind,
We all get pushed back sometimes,
Doubting whether it would do any good.
We keep quiet, terrified of speaking up.
But child.
Telling truths is the light switch,
The calm after a storm.
Follow your heart. Breathe in, breathe out.
Make your own wind.
Shout it from mountaintops,
Scream it in storms.
Whisper it in the cool dark of the night.
It’s okay. I am too.
