I didn’t want to cause trouble, my family to hate me, or face any kind of quarrels with those I knew, let alone get into conflict, so I kept quiet. And each day that passed by, my voice was getting quieter. I tried to rise up, but something inside of me, kept pushing me down.
My voice was pushed down! I felt like no one wanted to hear what I had to say. The enemy also whispered, “nobody cares” that’s your story! That’s too personal, too many details, that’s embarrassing, and I believed him!
I was losing my voice and my confidence. I used to be brave, but now I was scared of doing things I used to do. I couldn’t even lift my hand anymore. I had trouble sleeping at night and the days just felt like I was going through the motions.
I settled, I stayed silent, but inside I was dying, dying of compromising my identity, tolerant of his lies, intimidation kept pulling me further down.
At times I felt like that bird in a cage, who couldn’t sing her melody of freedom. Chained to the ground by my own insecurities, and fears I felt as though I could never sing the melody. I’ve forgotten how to sing, and dream, forgotten the lyrics, I’ve forgotten the tune, the melody.
