Unwittingly
Unwittingly...
I plunged forward feet first
as though born a rebel
I've crawled along
A wavering path
Learning early in life
That there was a
Kind of safety in silence
That saying nothing
To anyone anywhere
Meant
I could survive
Letting my actions
Tell the story
Of my troubled life
I plunged forward feet first
as though born a rebel
I've crawled along
A wavering path
Learning early in life
That there was a
Kind of safety in silence
That saying nothing
To anyone anywhere
Meant
I could survive
Letting my actions
Tell the story
Of my troubled life

Dear FM,
Silence=Self preservation on many levels. Turns out that wasn’t the best tack I could have used. Playing a bit of catch up now but your write lends the idea that I wasn’t the only one keeping mum.
Perceptive, raw and real. H🌷

Dear H,
Silence really wasn't the best choice for me although it seemed like it was at the time. Thank you for the wonderful compliment!

Yes, there are children that learn silence and it's possible safety. To crawl into themselves in in an attempt to become invisible. Hahaha, these scars are hell to cover up although they're on the inside, nice piece

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read my poem. You got it! I really wished I was invisible many times when I was young. I thought it was a safe way out. I really appreciate your wonderful remarks. Thanks again.

The worry that everytime i open my mouth i will be either Stupid or Incredibly Annoying to all of the representative "people" within earshot has been an incredibly hard habit to break.
Even worse, when i do talk, i'm so exuberant i practically shout. 😨😬😳🤫🤐 , 🙄 , 🤔🧐😤 , 😡🤬 , 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 . 🤷♀️🤭☺️. 🧎♀️

Thank you for your wonderful remarks. It seems there is always a down side to opening my mouth! Thank God I was given a talent for writing. It has been my salvation so to speak!

It seems like everyone has something to say all the time while almost no one listens these days. You can learn so much more by listening... I could definitely relate to this one and it is brilliantly written!
