She waits, holding her breath, so as not to utter her thoughts
In sounds that her heart might speak.
Longing and lone...she has become great at this art.
Every person around her overlooks her screams...
No one seems to notice her languished state:
Covert feelings too cowardly to escape the confines of her mouth.
Emotions are complex, aren't they?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Silence is a language of it's own. So much can be said within the confines of it's borders. Could silence be the loudest form of communication?
But in silence, we may hide and even find solace. We may also find truth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever considered taking a vow of silence?
