I used to sit and hold my shame,
Because I thought I was to blame
Afraid to speak out loud,
Because I was too proud
This kept me feeling stuck,
And I thought I had all the luck
I suppressed it for years,
All the anxiety, disappointment and tears
I hid it well, no one knew,
At least I thought that was true
I couldn't stand it anymore,
but when I tried to speak, it was just too sore
I ended up with celiac,
and became a gluten free maniac!
It was just another layer that affected my mood,
all of these fears and feeling misunderstood
I blamed it on experiences, God and Life,
when really it was just my internal strife
I got the support and felt dumbfound,
as things began to turnaround
I accepted full responsibility
opened my perspective, with eyes of possibility
I decided not to hold regret
for the years I'd suffered and felt upset
Because it helped me find the truth
I found my way back and healed my youth.
