The Power Of Silence

Life is not pleasant

Not only for you,

Not only for me,

But for us.

Some people will love

Others will hate

And I choose to be silent

Cause this is my fate.

My heart is exposed to

Trauma, hatred and disease

But also comfort and faith

Love, acceptance and peace.

The only hurdle that lies

Between me and my legacy

Is that sparkle of difference

Between reality and fantasy.

Every experience is not a boon

Every heartbreak is not a bane

I know my life is in the right place

When I overpower the constant pain

The darkness in light

The destruction of souls

And I choose to be cheerful

When the ugly truth unfolds.

I don’t often say

That life is rough

Cause when I have to explain

Words aren’t enough.

Then, there comes the silence

The utter silence.

But this silence breaks

When my words get personal

And I pour out my emotions

Into my journal.
