revelation...

Shhhhhhhhsh…She is listening to he inner voice, the authentic one. The one that is hard to hear over the noise of the Shoulds. It is deep within and she has only recently heard it.

It is counter to her thoughts but puts her at ease while her mind teems.

Before this, she only heard yours, yours, and yours.

Now she hears hers…and she listens.

Will you still love her? Or would you rather love someone other than her now that she knows who she is?

Her truth does not subscribe to fantasy or the ideal imaginaries.

Does yours? If you spoke your truth what would it be? Does it scare you? Can you hear it or is it shrouded in the Shoulds?

She says yes to please you, you, and you to keep you from suffering. She will bear your pain, keep you safe from it. She'll keep silent.

She fears if she speaks her truth she will be alone but if she doesn't she is a tyrant and then alone or a fabrication of herself.

She will always pick true freedom over anything but true love.

What do you choose?
