INVISIBLE BARS

Sometimes, you think you’re trapped.

You feel like there are bars around you.

But what if those bars only exist in your mind?

I reach out my hand to you.

But you say—

"No, there are bars between us."

And I say—

"No, there aren't."

You see, we are so good at seeing the beauty in others.

We recognize their strengths, gifts, talents.

Yet somehow, we fail to see our own.

Because we have locked ourselves inside a cage that doesn’t exist.

And we threw away the key.

The truth?

The key is right there.

It is sitting on top of the lock.

And the moment you realize that your identity is just a story

you have been telling yourself—

You will also realize the bars were an illusion.

I know—"letting go" sounds terrifying.

You have convinced yourself that inside the cage is safer.

But trust me—the person who hands you the key is not your enemy.

Beyond those bars,

possibilities are waiting for you.

Even if you are afraid,

move forward anyway.

Fear will always be there.

It will change forms, wear different disguises.

But don't fight it.

Just know it.

Recognize it.

And walk on.

Freely.
