When your truth is difficult to speak
And difficult to hear
And you know others will judge you
Harshly
And you speak anyway
Prepared to hear and deal with their judgment
I admire your courage and willingness to speak.
Your brutal truth
Is all that you have.
And will give you freedom.

It really does Debra. Not to mention there is the fear that you will be heard AND the fear that you won’t be heard.

It takes a lot, a LOT of courage to be able to speak the truth that the world doesn’t want to hear. But isn’t it nicer to be uninhibited than dying inside. 🙂

Very true! It can be costly to speak the truth. And to hold back costs us in other ways. You’ve said it perfectly!
