Silence The Mind To Hear Your Heart

Carina Rosner Ghionzoli

Sometimes life seems hopeless. Where everything is grey and tears tear my throat. I’m strong I refuse to let them out. I call a friend and I’m relieved when he doesn’t answer. I grab my laptop and a leave the house, it’s become way too small and stuffy. My destination my happy place the beach. And even here today I can’t find peace. Instead, my discontent grows and I feel it, a cement ball growing within me.

I don’t have to be strong all the time.

I don’t have to be a healer for everyone all the time.

I don’t have to be loved by all or loved by one.

I am human and for now I’m embracing my humaness,my sadness, my discontent.

I feel the scream within me.

I close my eyes and shatter my self made chains. Its a flick of the switch within my mind, the sword of truth slices through them, shattering them and yet…

My heart is still crying and I allow her the space.

The sand caresses my body absorbing my pain. I lay there in my discomfort.

A voice squeezes thought the pain and whispers, “you’re not alone”.

With it comes the sense of gratitude.

The voice smiles gently, “shine you’re light, walk in your truth”
