RE: Girl in a Box - A living poem
I was a little scared when I started reading, probably because I can really relate with bottling up a lot of emotions and then spilling them with the pen. I'm glad you found the courage to open the box, I'm glad you're finding or have found peace. At times, what holds us back is the fear to face our fears, and fear is a fleeting shadow - it scrambles at the arrival of light. Well-done, you're a good writer.
@oluwandusin I've never been afraid of my inner terrain. It's a good place to be if you're a writer, musician, artist. Feeling is good...we grow from feeling. I didn't expect this would go to such a beautiful place though. I expected deep sadness (which was there). I think that when we go through deep traumas, we tend to lose pieces of ourselves. This was an experience in reclaiming some of those beautiful pieces that I had forgotten were a part of who I am. Very healing. Thank you for your kind words and comment. Much love to you @oluwadunsin.
