Enough of holding back.
Struggling with your own self.
So what if they walk away?
Say it anyway.
It may not be worth your trial.
But you deserve the impending peace.
Enough of tormenting yourself.
Say it anyway.
Life’s unfair, as it is.
Why make it harder?
When you suffer, in wake or sleep,
who’s there to watch you weep?
Turn bitter, curse each day.
But don’t keep it to yourself,
Say it anyway.
If anything, you’ll know you were right
and in time, you’ll leave it behind.
Keeping it clutched to your heart,
will only kill you inside.
Walking away is cowardly,
staying back and watching them go
is what takes courage.
They always thought you were weaker,
it’s time you changed their mind.

I learned to speak my mind but once I speak it be content that I have unburdened myself so as not to have it bottled up inside. If I speak out to someone it then it up to them how to take my words but at least I have said it.

Yes, I have learnt it’s a good practice to have just let the words flow and not worry much about what may and may not happen.

If the heart didnt make us do certain things, how happy we’d be or maybe not!!

That is the way of life though my friend. If everything was simple we would probably sulk a lot.
