Every Word You Cannot Say

by Iain S. Thomas

feel like I’m waiting for something but I don’t know what it is.

Sometimes we do not see how much someone is already hurting and so when we hurt someone just a little, and they react, we think they’re overreacting, that they’re hostile and they think they’re finally being brave.

We only hear the loudest voices when really, we should be listening to the quietest.

(What you feel is not brokeness, it is the desire to love yourself how you were meant to be loved.

You are your fear and your love and you are the embodiment of all the things you feel. Only you hold you back, or push you forward.*

Something will always be wrong with you, no matter how much you try and fix yourself. You will always be looking for something you cannot find.”

every name must be forgotten.

And sometimes anger is your body’s way of telling you that you’re ready to change things.
