I need…
to slow down, to breathe
to protect my energy
to put myself first
I need…
time to process
to cry to release
I need help
I feel…
afraid to fail
uncertain to move
anxious with my own thoughts
I feel…
unsure sharing myself with the world
i’m not good enough
I feel small, but also
I want to…
be heard
be seen
be free
I want to...
trust myself
go my own pace
I want to say No without guilt
I need, I feel, I want…
I,
Simple words often too difficult to say,
yet so freeing to say out loud
