Loud Thoughts

Your strength has once again prevailed and you put their feelings before yours. We break our hearts into pieces and give them away, until they’re all gone. While we try to live with the broken heart and soul we are left with, there is no escaping the feeling of trying to find inner peace; self discovery. We sacrifice our own happiness to make others smile. But in the process we lose ourselves.

We extinguish the sparks in our eyes and the fire in our stomach in order to fuel the dreams of others. We are the people who laugh at the end of every sentence, and place a smiley face at the end of every text to make sure our friends don’t think we are upset when we say, “I need to go.”

We are the people with loud thoughts and quiet voices, refusing to speak our minds at the fear of hurting another’s feelings. We are the people who would give our own life to save a stranger. We are the ones who embrace positive energy while trying to fight the negative. We get mad at ourselves if someone despises us.

In this moment, stop and breathe, we can’t change the world all in one day no matter how hard we try. Never give up on yourself while being strong for others. Be bold enough to speak your mind, cry your pain and always remind yourself that you are good enough.
