Sian Eleri Writes

I see your picture-perfect life online,

I don’t see what’s behind the scenes.

Tell me what’s going wrong.

Tell me what’s eating you up inside.

Don’t feel like you have to hide the pain

because I’m telling you, I feel the same.

I see the achievements and dreams coming true,

I don’t see the difficult journey that led you there.

Tell me about the failures.

Tell me what nightmares are haunting you.

No need to hide all the shame that you carry,

because I’m telling you, I carry it too.

Share the shit. Share the shit.

Because we all feel it too,

and we need to feel seen,

we need to believe

we’re not alone in this hell.
