Standing In My Truth

The mental state of someone is very important, if an individual is not stable or simply fighting their inner demons the love and support that would pass as the definition of love to the average individual is far more deeper to those who struggle with their mental state, BUT for us it is simply EVERYTHING. That love that consumes a mother when laying eyes on her newborn child, that specific form of love should be held high in comparison. In my eyes we are all equal, no one is better than the next and In my eyes your struggle's and your downfalls are not what define you as a person. What defines you as a person is who you become at the end of the struggle. When someone as myself tends to love too hard it's almost like we carry the entire world and everyone's problems on our backs, however do not misinterpret what I'm saying loving too hard is not a bad trait to have but if not loved back at the same expectations can also feel like our world is ending. Imagine not being able to love yourself because you've given all your Love away and in return receive nothing, and if you think loving was deep can you imagine the agony we go through when we love someone and lose them. You probably won't see us for maybe a month, maybe two months or a year but guaranteed when we do return we will be unrecognizable. People will mistaken us for shy when we really are just guarded, people may mistaken us as being standoffish and quiet when your reality we're simply in the shadows and observing. It's almost impossible to explain it but it almost feels like we're drowning and no one can hear. It is very painful, an ugly, and completely out of our control. It reminds me of a question that A wise man once asked me, He Said "Raven if a tree in the Forest falls, and you are not there to hear it, does it make a sound?" I never did answer him and that is not because I did not have my own opinion but because that was the moment I really really understood. I realized some things are truly better left unsaid and what is understood does not need to be explained. -Raven A
