I Should Have Listened to My Soul
I will not ignore my soul again ~Author
An open letter to my soul
I’m not certain when I began trusting people more than you.
I don’t make excuses. I own every bad decision I make or am allowed to make.
I have been exposed to other people’s poor choices.
I seldom have time to eradicate my own.
I see the consequences of all I have allowed.
I cannot choose other people, family, or foes over you.
What words can justify turning on you, my soul?
I see the consequences of all my choices.
I will not bleed on other people to heal myself.
I stand tall every day while looking in the mirror at what I have created.
The thought of harming the soul may be universal to man at some point.
I have often wondered how someone turns on themselves.
I don’t blame ignorance. I would say it’s similar to a slow boil.
I have learned that when you compromise what you value, what makes you smile, and what makes you, you.
There is a price for compromise. You begin to ignore your soul.
The long road home to who you are is not only probable but also possible.
Face yourself, own all of your choices, eliminate harmful habits one step at a time and embrace your soul again.
Thank you for reading.
Be Well!
