sometimes.....
you are silent....
silent...on the outside.....
silent....for people to see...
silent...to not hurt others....
silent....but not on within...
all they see is someone
who is being quite for some reason..........
why bother?
do they know...
why is this silence?
NO
do they know of the battle within you?
NO
do they know the fllod of feelings you are facing.....
and yet...
not permitting a flood of tears to inform them? ?
NO
do they know that it's in their absence that this flood breaks free?
NO
do they know how hard you strive
though it's not in your ability to achieve it..? ?
NO
do they even know that it's not in your ability?
NO
why?
because they never asked you.......
do you think they would have surely understood you
had you poured out your yourself?
NO
silent....because you know that they won't understand you
silent....on the outside
