Silence

My father named me silence...

I thank him, as Ii now know it's the essence

I used to be a rebellion before

My silence has calmed me like never before.

I used to get angry every now and then

Now I am silent with my own pen

I used to get hurt by others easily

Now, I take life as it comes daily

I used to cry within sometimes

Now that I keep myself busy,

I keep wondering at times

Is it myself or someone else

Who has kept me busy

I owe everything to the silence

Within me and outside me

Father, just one thing I want to tell you

I will always be in silence remembering you.....
