Do you feel it?
No.
I mean,
really feel it?
Let it slowly
take control.
That emotion
you’ve been keeping
low.
Everything
you say and do,
washing like a wave
over you.
Let it drag
you down,
fill your lungs,
until it is
all you know.
Just for a moment,
know yourself.
The fear,
the love,
the joy
that drives you.
So many of us
are not in touch
with who we are
on such a base level.
Deny our motivations,
deny our trials,
or anything
that might
be worthwhile.
Expose ourselves
to ourselves
and know the truth.
So many are
addicted to abuse.
The chance to see
is turned away,
because we are
afraid.
Do you feel it?
Yes.
That one.
The one you’ve been avoiding
for a long time.
Just let it out
for a little while.
Come now,
it’s only trauma, child.
You’ve got to know
yourself, now.
Tomorrow wont’ be time
to let it all out.
We’re going
to need you
to know you
for sure.
