Stay Silent… Please Don’t Speak Your Truth

Sometimes in life we go against what we truly believe in not speaking our truth staying silent in order to protect those closest to us, not rocking the boat just in case that boat we rock capsizes throwing those we are told we are to protect from the truth, into the chaos the drama that surrounds us … At what cost to whom does all this secrecy effect in the end it affects – You – the one that has to hold back the emotional damage the emotional carnage others don’t see hidden deep within our bodies our minds our souls, haven’t we all heard “Please don’t say anything to so in so because they will just worry about you”… “They won’t like what has happened to you”….. “They won’t cope with the truth”….. “They won’t know how to deal with you”

So who are we really looking after keeping our mouths so tightly buttoned not allowing ourselves to speak freely, pretending we are okay everything is fine pretending life is just amazing, well it certainly isn’t ourselves… Nope I’m afraid we are protecting those people that are sitting in blissful unawareness that our lives are just perfectly fine, they are naively unaware of the drama the fear  the emotional pain we are hiding from them with our masked faces of happiness, and when we drop that mask down for them to see the reality of the situation the fragments of pain so clearly etched upon our faces, it is evident when one goes through trauma emotionally or physically it is very hard to hide. It is not okay for others to place restrictions on another not allowing a person to be honest to be real to speak their truth.

We are allowed to speak our truth we are allowed to break the codes of silence to reach out for help from others, we are allowed to be real to show emotion we are allowed to be honest even if it means those that have hurt us are revealed exposed for all to see – It is okay – it is your truth be true to yourself it is all part of healing.
