"Lines of Translation"

 


The steps of life are made...

Walking with us...

Carrying all the memories created...

Along with everything that has been abandoned, lost or left behind...

Some days our hands catch too many tears

The unsteady journey ahead has been made unclear

Decisions beyond our comprehension come

And actions taken against us are out of our control

Making us these moments now

Not yesterday...

Or even tomorrow...

Time always keeps its steady embrace

We remember with mixed emotions

When someone has taught us a valuable lesson

Ingrained within the senses we keep it

The learning comes after...

Having the ability to see the darkness

And hear the words spoken between the lines of translation

So we may avoid the taste of bitter disappointment

The body speaks, asking for a break

Respect the thought of mind

Honour the rest you seek when you need a moment to yourself

Because sadly, hurt people believe they need to hurt people

Its the active choice...

Boundaries put in place are seen as revenge

An act taken against them...

When reality always shows the truth

Just because some do not understand your emotions, does not mean they are not valid

Making the place where you stand important

Putting space between you and those who act like the victim in the problem they created

Helps us realize just how much we were being suffocated...

As we step away from them...

And breathe in the fresh air.
