Forever...
It only lasts as long as you allow it...
Or when some other outside force beyond your control intervenes...
Commit to the choice or allow the change...
The power within our abilities is not a material thing that can be given
It has to be chosen...
Those with continued raging storms within their being will always get others caught up within the poor weather that surrounds them
Colour fades and bleeds together
Blackness in shades of grey seep in...
Hate is so incredibly loud...
Hurt carries a bitter sting...
And lies fed are always unfortunately accepted by hearts who wish to blindly believe...
Because memories about certain things take a lot of poetic license
It omits some details, while others get exaggerated
All according to the emotional value of what it touches
It is the deepest understanding at our core...
That we must first learn to lose in order to recover
To remember that nothing stays the same within life...
Not even pain...
Healing begins the moment the voice feels heard
It acknowledges a marker in time where you begin to take back you
To be proud of surviving all those silent moments you never speak of
Because just like actions, words matter...
Stop saying bad things about yourself
When words hit the air, they begin to take on a new meaning
They become the house the mind lives in...
You start to become the words you speak
And that is how others begin to define you
Remind yourself now, that you are not your thoughts
And you are not the thoughts of others...
Cast out the darkness spread
Redefine you...
And let the light in.
