"Finding My Voice Again"

After battling writer's block for ages, inspiration finally struck late one night, and these words formed in my mind, so I ran to my laptop and let them flow. They explore family dynamics that might resonate with you as well. Writing has been so therapeutic for me, and I encourage everyone to keep putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard)! I want to thank the amazing Insight Timer teachers, who continually inspire and encourage me to keep using my voice in this beautiful community.

Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.

Today I'm going to share a poem that I was inspired to write late at night.

I hadn't written anything in a while and this suddenly came to me and I sat down to write it and I actually found it very healing.

It's based on some family dynamics that I'm sure some of you can relate to and I entitled it Finding My Voice Again.

Be quiet they said you talk too much so I stopped sharing and swallowed it down like the food that kept me company.

Lose weight they said you're too big no one will want you no one will marry you so I assumed I'd be alone but I'd be okay.

Don't be silly they said you're just a baby your opinion doesn't count so I no longer had one but I had plans and I had dreams and I pursued them quietly.

Where are you going they said you can't leave here you can't make it alone but I did and I survived and I thrived.

We knew it couldn't last they said you didn't know what you were doing you should never have left us but I left and I made mistakes and they were mine and I learned and I kept it going and I made a new life.

Come back they said come visit let's be together but I had clarity and I was free and I was happy and I never went back never even considered it and as they faded whispers in the dust I knew I'd never return never regret the flight in the silence I found my voice in the darkness light
