In the Silence of Judgment

A Poetry of Breaking Silence

In a realm of language, I sat so calm,

Pondering why we often remain hushed, a qualm.

Hesitant to question, to share, to convey,

In the hush, dread of judgments that may sway.

Weary of holding back the unspoken,

I yearn to speak boldly, my mind unbroken.

No guilt in revealing, pursuing a link,

Shatter the quiet, cultivate true think.

Existence simplified when we boldly ask,

Options laid out, whether they align or unmask.

Sketch the picture, let the words flow,

Inquire, express, in voices strong, let life’s stories grow.

This poem explores thinking about ourselves and being free. It talks about not saying what we feel and wanting to be brave in expressing ourselves. It also talks about breaking the quiet, being real, and asking questions. The poem paints a picture of finding out more about ourselves and telling our stories boldly.
