*Monologue of silence*
My best friend is Priyanka all this while
She keeps her baggage in me to pile
One day she bursts out of tears
In me she stores all her fears
As a child she was timid and had trauma
She never spoke up even when needed always glued to her Amma
Slowly public speaking made her confident
But she stills loves my company as I am her confidant
She is easily hurt and often emotional yet keeps smile
She often vent out feelings in wrong time
One such experience with her in-laws
Even after feeling sorry , till today she feels at flaws
So now she keeps me close and chooses silence trait strong
Doesn't mean she is accepting something wrong
Just that at times when words can spoil things
Silence can set free as if she possess imaginary wings
In silence she can revisit the story and structure the climax
Same situation which looked worst seems better to its max
Example - Priyanka had met a bunch of good people in her recent trip
She wanted to maintain a healthy relationship
But the person completely ignored her in due time
And only in silence she understands this response is also fine
She understands her worth is not measured by someone's response
Without silence she would only be upset and pounce
Given same situation she would still be nice
But now silence has taught her that not reconnecting is wise
My mere presence communicate more than a word
Meaningful silence can save from damage in situation absurd !!!
