When you don’t express it, you silence you

Your voice is not heard

Where does it go?

You swallow your truth like a large hard pill

Allowing others to exist in their ignorance

Is your life lived to make fools feel better about their choices?

Or, is it meant for you to live in the totality of who you were created to be?

Why won’t you express it?

Forget about the fear

Bystanders be damned

Launch into the freedom of voice, truth, and authenticity

Why won’t you express it?

Look what you stand to gain –

Your confidence. Hope. You.

You are worth the work – the battle with fear

When you don’t express it, you silence you
