Let Me Speak!

Stop telling me to turn the other cheek. Let me speak. 

Stop invalidating my feelings, this makes no sense to me! Let me focus on my healing. 

Stop saying what would Jesus do, when this figure of perfection got angry once too.  

Is flipping over tables what you would like to see me do? 

Stop telling folks leave the past in the past. 

If it were true, I wouldn’t feel triggered. It wouldn’t keep sneaking up on my ass!

Yes, there are people who can forgive the past; handle the present and plan for the future. 

They can do it all 

But these are the same people having difficulties in their relationships, careers, substance-abuse issues. Around their hearts they have built the wall. 

Everyone has their way of coping with stressors. Everyone figures it out some way.

Some drink, get high, gamble or try to pray they’re pain away. 

There are people in this world, angry walking around every day 

Struggling with their Day to day, having it impact their physical and mental health

Unable to put their pain away, fearful of what other may say.

Forget them

Speak you mind

It's all going to be fine

If they get upset start to moan and groan

then maybe next time they will let you speak, or just leave you the hell alone
