So speak…

Years of silence

Will take a toll on anyone

On their heart

Their body

Their spirit

And if there are things… material or particles or maybe just air

That exist beyond,

There will inevitably be..

A toll taken.

That’s what silence will do to you if you choose to harbour it too long.

It will sabotage you.

It will make you flimsy and your  beliefs lacking in credentials.

It will trivialize your pain.

You exist in your own exquisite way.

The pain that is yours is not yours alone.

Every heart harbours it…

So speak.

You owe it to your silent suffering.

And to those mistakenly caught up in their individual suffering.

So speak.. till the pointed fingers go down.

And the pain receives the celebrations that are due to her

Speak.. for you are not your silence, your pain or your illness..

There’s so much more to you..

So much more than your silence would ever let you accommodate.
