SILENCE

SILENCE
Some things in life are best unspoken, unheard.
Silence has many forms in my world,
Sometimes my eyes are swollen
My friends then know the reason unknown
I cross my fingers and keep mum
But, then I have to succumb.

Silence binds me, when I’m sad,
I close my eyes and think of my dad.
He inspires me without a word.
His silence is my biggest strength.

Sometimes I’m happy and my eyes twinkle,
My mother looks at me and happiness whirls,
She says nothing and gives me silent kiss,
That’s a thing, I genuinely miss.
Some things in life are best unspoken, unheard.
Silence has many forms in my world.
