To the ones who stay silent in air filled with words,
I can hear you
Your lips sealed but mind wide awake,
I know what you’re thinking
How you play with your hair to avoid being noticed,
I get you
To be there but not there is a task,
I know, how you do
When others flow words in absolute ease,
You prepare your ‘yes’ with great squeeze
Quietness never harmed anyone
Nor me or you
Speak up! Or you’ll be tagged boring,
It’s all okay, don’t listen to their roaring
It’s liberating to be quite,
I know that feeling
Silence never bothers you
Because you practice it concealing
Others voice ideas in- mic,
Your pick is always the – pen
Why don’t you speak?,
I know you do with your eyes
It’s less chaotic and more breezier I’m guessing,
Up there where you grow seeds of pondering
Silent and silence constants for life
You do you, I promise you will suffice.
