. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

then pause

you

feel trapped

inside the cells of

secrets known

=

it’s simple though

to be who you are

out here

=

so, shhh

listen for my pause

[...]

and you’ll see

the way

    • yes, peace of mind and calming all the chaos that creates trauma inside. all the answers are inside if you just take the chance to listen.
