STRENGTH IN BEING SEEN by Victoria Erickson

Honor your heart…

I wrote this because I believe there’s immense relief and strength in honoring what your heart is saying by speaking it. It ultimately will set you free.

Strength In Being Seen

I see you standing there with a mouthful of poetry

yet a head full of doubt.

You are sharp yet softening

while needing to be split open

and poured out.

So let go.

All the things you now carry

all weights that pull you down

all the beauty you'd forgotten

any flame burned out.

Tell me

what awaits just beyond

the edge

of your ache.

There's relief

in the speaking.

And there's strength

in being seen.
