Why?
Why would I let people see me?
The real me?
Why would I show a picture,
of such depth of feeling?

I do it because I love myself… and I love you.
I love people.
I want to know people,
I want people to know me.
I don’t want to float through the world bumping into people.
I want to connect.
We all need connection.
Even if it’s not direct connection.

We need to know that our story matters.
We need to find meaning in our story.
We need to know the feeling of that connection.
Most of us are drifting around,
starving for that connection.
I have been starving…
I’ve been inside my head living there all alone.
I don’t want to live there anymore.
I want to breathe.
I want to inhale deep and connect.
When I connect I feel a sense of contentment.
I’m tired of only having the conversations inside myself.
I have a voice and it’s been straining to be freed.

Will you allow me this freedom?
Can I be me?
Is it safe out here?
I know it has to be.

I see you… I know you long to be free.
Free from fear,
free from restriction,
free from judgement,
free from the grind,
free from expectation,
free from obligation,
free from being someone you’re not,
free from the dark,
free from the loneliness,
free from suffering alone,
free from being disconnected.
FREE
FREE
