"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" ~ Maya Angelou ... when I read this quote, I was inspired to write this poem... We tend to hold so much in, or fail to express what we're feeling with the hope that someone will / can read our mind. In failing to say what is on our mind we silence ourselves and our voice. This realization gives credibility to suffer in silence. Mind you, we don't have the right to express ourselves in a way that hurts and / or disrespects others but, we should think twice before we continuously hold things in that can turn a simple problem / misunderstanding into a grudge that we internalize and hold on to.
Untold Stories
throughout life
moments pass
things transpire
emotions range
subjects are created
characters emerge
plots intensify
refusing to be locked away
catalysts
choices
consequences
come together
without warning
sometimes colliding
sometimes mingling
always lingering
creating illusions
that mimic deception
causing
true feelings
to
become created ones
speak up
release your thoughts
so YOU can be heard...
