Dreams

I sometimes had dreams where my teeth fall off. Especially my front teeth. I didn’t have to try hard, I just pushed them with my tongue and they came off. I panicked, blamed everything in my life. I couldn’t bear the fact that my teeth was gone and now I have to face the world with a hole in my smile. I have to fix them right away.

If only I knew how to fix the hole in my soul, rather than running away from it. Just because people couldn’t see it, doesn’t mean it is invisible. I can always feel it, coming and going like waves. But I did nothing and just kept on living until the whole sand castle is washed away.

t.l.

We tend to know how to fix the outside and not the inside.
