Coming Clean

It's close to night fall and I'm ending the day feeling happy and settled. "Relieved" might be the word to sum up how I am feeling.

Though I can't help feeling a little peeved with myself, having delved in "what ifs" and fears for quite a while, which all seem so ridiculously unnecessary now. 

I am pleased too, that I have come to realise the need to be more sensitive, tolerant and understanding; to look beyond my emotions and needs. Hurt, anguish, fear - it envelopes every individual, not just me. I should not dash another's hope and happiness with my opinion, or hurt others due to my own fears.

Speaking up does not guarantee the outcome we desire, but more importantly, it's about being honest and open, clearing the path off suspicions and doubts.

Paint Me A Pretty Picture

Paint me a pretty picture

Where I let go of all inhibitions,

And feel with all my heart.

Removing the barriers

That has held me in a prison

From unlocked emotions.

To be able to shed hurt,

Confront fears.

Walking away from ugliness,

Enveloped in an artistry of

Longing pleasure,

Experiencing peace, joy, contentment,

Love.

Painting a pretty picture.
