Healing

Hidden behind the shadows is a voice that screams for help but is silenced by the constant dismissals of "you'll be fine", "why are you so emotional?"

Behind the shadows is a cry disguised as a smile, cause everyday they are reminded how easy it is for them to be overlooked in a group or a crowd.

Behind the shadows are traumas that may never be spoken of, lost in the depths of every outburst, every breakdown and every sleepless night.

Behind the shadows is a girl slowly mending her wounds, so tomorrow will bring strength, guidance and love to those that come after her.

I wrote this while sitting in my room, tears coming down my face as I pen each word on how I was feeling at that very moment. I hide behind jokes, music, other people's issues and quietly ignored my own. For so long I felt lost, wondering why I was always so easily forgotten. I started to think less of myself. I quickly realized if someone can't see my greatness, that's fine. I will always be my biggest supporter. So if you ever feel as though in room full of people you are still alone.
Take a minute and remind yourself of your greatness.

With love, K
