how to know the sound of silence



Listen.

darting, averted eyes aren't silent

glued lips aren't silent

wringing hands aren't silent

restless feet aren't silent


Listen.

eye contact doesn't mean seeing

brief, fleeting conversations don't mean seeing

touch doesn't mean seeing

walking alongside doesn't mean seeing


Remember.

sometimes all silence wants is to not be heard but heard

to not be seen but seen

because he has a heart too


Listen.

he doesn't want your pity

he wants you to be kind because you are

not because you feel sorry




Alone.

alone but not lonely

finally
