My Truth

For the longest time
I didn’t know what to say
even though
my mind overflowed
with a truth
that was eager
to be shared.

For the longest time
I thought
I don’t have the words.
I thought
I can’t do this.
I thought
who am I to
rock the boat?

I thought
then I stopped
in my tracks.
I stopped
trying to figure it out.
I stopped
exploring my headspace
since there was
nothing new
to be found there.

When I stopped
space washed over me.
When I stopped
I reconnected
to my body.
And truth
poured out of me
flowing
like a river
of tears
released
at last.
An unstoppable
force of nature.

My truth
breaking through
an ancient dam
of conditioning.
A dam
weakened
by minute moments
of self-love.
And rather than
destroying
everything
in its path
it cleansed
and purified
and washed away
all
that was not me.
