Coat of Silence

In most instances of trouble in life, we choose silence as the answer, which most of the time makes the situation worst.

A pause for a while

Yet for days weeks may last

Drifting apart ties a mile

Beckons loneliness as past

 

A costume so cheap

For lovers, friends and family

No frills of talk so deep

Replace words in apathy

In spite of revealing truth

Admitting one’s fault

The sole way to soothe

Silence coats them all

 

In disguise of serene

Amidst inner war

Trapped midst securing name

And accepting failure sore

Blocking all ways

To talk and solve

Misunderstandings mistakes

Tearing apart love

 

After trying the best

To unwind what is left

If no confess yet

Silence shall rule the rest

Now no longer the coat

But the person alone

This was a notable read for me among the 70 that I read the past few days.

I'm very fond of your power in brevity, this ability to compress your thought into tight short lines.

You manage to package the human condition in a way we can all relate to:

"In disguise of serene
Amidst inner war
Trapped midst securing name
And accepting failure sore"
