Take your power back

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH

 

For years I hid my sorrows in the shadows of my mind,

Wearing strength like fragile armour no one else could ever find.

Silence was my prison, and fear my daily breath,

Yet my heart kept whispering its protest against death.

 

I walked through storms unnoticed, carrying wounds no eyes could see,

Pretending I was unshaken while the pain kept choking me.

But truth is a restless river; it refuses to be still,

And it pushed against my silence with a quiet, rising will.

 

“I am not afraid anymore”, the words became my light,

A beacon through the memories that haunted every night.

I learned that healing isn’t instant, nor is courage free,

But every step toward honesty unlocked a deeper me.

 

I speak to every survivor who has ever felt alone,

Who hid their trembling stories in the corners of their bones.

Your scars are not your failures; your past is not your name,

Your truth is your salvation; your voice defeats the shame.

 

“I will seek help for myself”, the vow that breaks the chain,

An anthem for the wounded rising bravely from the pain.

Not to fix the one who hurt you, nor to justify their deeds,

But to water your own spirit and to meet your healing needs.

 

You are not broken, nor deserted, you are stronger than you know,

A survivor turning painful seeds to gardens where hope grows.

So speak your truth with trembling lips, let your soul reclaim its roar,

You are not alone, not silenced… you are not afraid anymore.
