Nothing to hide

Written when I was listening to the devil is a liar by Dina Rebekka

I’ve been trying to hide my feelings…for far too long…trying to convince myself…that others don’t have the capacity…so why add more chaos to the mix…this world is crazy enough…without my jumbled thoughts entering it…so I am learning there is freedom…in facing reality and sharing…

I got nothing to hide…but I have for so long…because I simply turned the lights off and left the conversation…locked the door and hid away the keys…but I am learning that I have nothing to hide…because I deserve to be heard…turn the lights on and I deserve to be seen too…

My bedroom walls closing in…when I lay in my bed awake…staring at the ceiling…trying to find rest…trying to gain the strength to make it through…another day at the grindstone…another way to communicate…when my mind is racing at a million of miles a second…

I am done playing hide-and-seek from my thoughts…I am done being the hider…because listening to my thoughts…can get kinda lonely…which may lead to a life of isolation…trying to break away…from the shackles that had contained me for so long…
