Today I sit with the sadness,
Wishing my tear ducts would just dry up,
It's a slow descent into madness.
Truth is I’m scared though I want to break through.
Scared to acknowledge it,
And scared of what will happen when I do.
I sit with it like an old friend, an estranged lover.
The awkward silence palpable, heavy in everything,
Like two broken hearts unsure if they still need each other.
And though this time I have cowered away,
Maybe one day I'll find courage,
To love that part of me enough to stay.

what do you feel like would happen if you actually let yourself fully face it, no holding back?
I think I'd have to confront many parts of me but I'm just taking it 1 step at a time
i started letting the feeling stay without trying to fight it or fix it, just sitting there like you said. it was uncomfortable as hell, but it slowly stopped feeling so loud.
I hope it continues getting even better from here on😊
i used to sit with that same fear, like if i really faced it i’d fall apart completely. turns out i didn’t, but damn it felt close for a while.
It's really mind over matter
