Silent

Quiet!

Don't say a word.

Only watch and listen.

You are the writer.

Meant to speak the truth.

Your pain.

Your love.

Your longing.

Quiet!

Write away.

Whether it be pencil or pen.

Computer or phone.

Hush now.

And let it out,

another way.

Stay silent my friend

For people do not understand.

That silence,

Is our defense.
