INSIDE MY MIND WITH ZIL

Being hurt by people is inevitable.
Being hurt by yourself is worst.
Those broken promises leave you doubtful.
You surround yourself with walls.
You become too afraid to be vulnerable.
You become more comfortable with distancing yourself.
You create new hobbies and engage your mind.
You laugh and dance. Meditate and travel.
Once in a while you feel lonely.
But you think you are healing.
You think you are getting stronger.
You think you can handle yourself better.
And there comes a time where it all comes crashing down.
The realization strikes you.
You haven’t even progressed a bit, just side stepped it.
You still have difficulties trusting.
Anxiety sets in. And out comes the panic.
You doubt again and try to run away.
No matter what you do, it doesn’t go away.
You finally realize the only solution is the way through.
Scary it might be, it needs a lot of courage.
So drop your guard and be vulnerable.
Maybe you don’t need to fight so hard.
Maybe its time to tear down those walls.
The mighty fort needs to be reopened.
Maybe you are holding off the better things as well.
Maybe you need to relax, let your hair down.
Let the wind blow those soft curls.
Maybe you need to start with trust.
Maybe you need to start with trusting yourself.
Maybe you need to let go of the grudges.
Maybe just live in the moment.
Maybe you will enjoy this change.
Maybe you are finally healing.
Maybe it’s a new start.
