wait

if you feel lost, or confused,
if you feel like life has no meaning,
if you're stuck in a rut, and have no real friend,
if you're sick of wearing your mask everyday,
and of not ever being seen for who you are,
sit and wait in silence,
cry, laugh, rage, whatever you need
so that you can feel again,
the tenderness that is inside you,
your best friend and teacher,
shut out for so long.
it will whisper to you first,
and if you give it time,
its voice will grow loder,
its advice unmistakable, and you will learn to trust it
again
and you won't need all of what they've told you,
their cheap medicines and trinkets
you'll learn to be content, at peace,
following your own path in your own way
