Quiet

I sit in my corner

In the quiet.

I breathe.

I feel.

I exist.

I write.

My words

Flow in the silence.

The feeling is magical.

I can understand.

I simply can’t write fast enough.

My brain is a flurry of emotions and feelings.

I understand them.

I process them.

I know where they come from,

What they do.

I pour them out on paper,

They flood from my heart, into my pen, 

And onto the page.

Swirling, like my thoughts.

A cascade, impossible to dam,

Flows from my mind.

I soon must return,

To my silence,

But it will be peaceful, 

I know that I have an outlet.

A place where I can spew my thoughts,

Words,

Feelings.

Yes, it’s messy.

Yes, it’s not perfect-

Far from it, in fact!

But it’s mine.

I own the words

I own the quiet.

I am master here, in my safe space.

Where

All

Is

Quiet.

Words

Words let you express,

Feel,

Understand,

I am learning to use words

To help others

It is my greatest wish

That my words would help,

Someone out there,

Who feels like me.

I cannot promise 

That my words will work for you.

Who am I, but the author?

Words help me,

But they might not help you.

That’s alright.

You don’t have to be like me.

You are loved, just as you are.

You have other ways

To express, get relief,

Understand, feel.

But this is my way.

Through words.

@Edema Rue this made me think of you for some reason  

 

Breath

In, out,

Steady, constant,

Always there,

Until it’s not.

In silence,

In noise,

In crowds,

We all breathe.

Slowly, quietly,

Deeply, loudly,

Quickly, shallowly,

Breath always happens.

Keep breathing,

My friends,

In,out

Please keep breathing

I know

It hurts,

It’s hard,

But keep breathing

You’re strong,

You’re brave,

It’s possible.

Don’t be afraid.

Keep breathing

Good job

In, out.

Try it again.

In, out,

Count them,

In, out

You’ll make it

In, out

In, out

In, out

Are you okay?

Need more?

In, out

In, out

It’s getting easier

Every time

You’re scared

Keep breathing

Just keep breathing.
