The Story Starts with “ME” – A Poem
In a world of “Yous” and “Thems”, choose “Me.” It took years of trauma for me to realize the precious element hidden around me — Silence. This poem is for the ones who are embracing Silence like me.
By Areeba Ashrafi
Sitting in silence,
Never felt it was crucial,
To rescale my sanity.
Looking at the plane wall,
Never held deep meaning,
Until I wrote my own stories,
Building clouds of imagination,
And filling them with wordy creations.
Sitting in a dark room,
It never felt so enlightening,
Until I met my own demons,
Sleeping underneath my skin cells.
Zipping my lips tight,
Never felt so freeing,
Until I spoke to my inner human,
And choose Me over Them!
It wasn’t until I sat in SILENCE,
Zipped my MOUTH SHUT,
In a DARK ROOM,
staring at a plane WALL,
I realized – the truth was always hidden,
Inside of ME!
So,
The story starts, Always, with “ME.”
