Bring to mind a private thought.
A secret,
Something that's been on your mind,
A string of words you've wanted to express,
It's rather arbitrary.
But make sure it [[means]] something to you.//[[Say it]] out loud//I'm willing to bet you spoke it quietly..
//Why?//
* Because you're afraid to [[be heard]]?
or maybe
* You're afraid to [[break the silence]]?Why even speak, then?
Surely I can't //make// you speak aloud if you didn't want to...
It must have meant enough to be spoken aloud regardless.
So maybe it deserves to be spoken like [[it matters]], or maybe [[it didn't matter]] at all.All the more reason to speak up.
Silence is a powerful force and breaking it is difficult.
Most of the battle is simply being brave enough to [[do it]].Then speak it again, so that it might be heard.
Would it really be so bad if someone were to hear?It //is// just a thought for you, after all.Speak you mind again, but [[louder and more confidently]].There, I'm sure you feel better now.
Perhaps a bit awkward,
but better.
