Breaking the Silence

My last post was about the courage to use words.  Since posting that, I've been finding it so difficult to not be silent.  How is it that speaking out can so easily silence me?  My heart has so much it wants to say but my mouth is frozen. How do we break the silence? When the fear creeps in and takes control, how do you find your voice again?

Sometimes, maybe you just have to start with one word and take it a word at a time, until the chains of silence start to break...


So here is an attempt to break my silence...

of speaking, of remembering, of sleeping, of being, of feeling...

Shame
I know the shame isn't mine to carry, but I don't know how to get rid of it. It's a silencing shame and cuts right to the core of my being...


Fragile, small, cut off, discarded... tossed aside after being used.


Super-sensitive and utterly exposed.
