clamor
how to get away
from the rush of having to be discovered
how to get rid of the bottomless pit
of doom scrolling for inspiration
where to start
when i've forgotten to be true to myself
when i've forgotten that my voice is magnetic
when it is most authentic,
fragile,
and vulnerable
music blasting in my ears
both headphones on for once.
feeding the urge to block out
the clamor
'cause it's crucial
for me to find my voice again
i breathe,
listen intently
finally
to what my heart wants to say
because people long
to be inspired by the words we carry

I was browsing your website and admiring the beautiful colourful paintings; all you need to do is share, which also reflects your magnetic voice. Remove everything—all doubts—and share — people will love it here :) Take care!
