Silence

Can be harrowing for some

And calming for others

As it often fills the air with fear, tension and awkwardness

---

However, the irony remains of it

Still being considered

As a sign of

Weakness, shyness and cowardice

---

Thus overlooking

The pain, struggle and tears

Of trying to keep everything together

And just move on…

---

As its prolongation

Is a constant reminder

Of the mistake to err

As the end result becomes greater

Than our personal growth and what we learn
