the wisdom of staying silent

been holding up too long. been keeping tight-lipped about how i feel.  even when i feel like bursting.  i have been telling myself too long, it is not worth it, to be shedding these tears.

and there are moments that i would believe all the pain is just part of it. well, if love is so wonderful, why does it give so much pain?

for the past weekend, i begged for courage, that i may embrace truth and speak up, hold firm and move forward without forsaking the wisdom of staying silent, letting go and walking away.

i walk away.

liberating.
