💛 Will You choose an allow yourself; to return to Your True state of being?
✨️🪷✨️
SO MUCH MORE
They used to be so much -
Too much for some.
Too bright.
Too brave.
They used to laugh with their whole body
And cry with it too -
A whirlwind of truth that danced
In defiance of silence.
They had colours in their voice
And galaxies in their gaze.
They didn’t just enter rooms,
They brought them to life.
People would say,
“You’re intense.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You feel too much.”
And slowly - too slowly to notice -
They started to believe it.
They folded in their edges.
Muted their sparkle.
Reduced their thunder to a careful drizzle
So nobody would get wet.
They began to rehearse smiles
Instead of feeling joy.
Began to ask for permission
Just to breathe fully.
Their laughter now lives in old photographs.
Their firelight flickers behind politeness.
They walk carefully,
As if trying not to disturb
The version of them
That once burned unapologetically.
And when you ask them
What’s wrong -
Why they seem quiet -
They’ll shrug and say,
“I don’t know.”
Because forgetting your muchness
Doesn’t happen in a moment.
It’s the slow condensing
Of someone told too many times
To take up less space.
But somewhere,
The wildness waits.
Beneath the weight of shoulds and silence.
A storm still rumbles
In their bones.
And maybe,
Just maybe,
One day they’ll wake up
And remember who they were
Before the world
Taught them to be afraid
Of their own light.
And they’ll return.
Not as they were -
But fiercer.
Wiser.
Too much -
Yet so much
More.
