You should start communicating better,
Would you not share anything with us,
Are some of the queries people ask casually,
Of the ones who practice silence or limited dialogue,
Maybe it offends people, the inadequacy of response,
But we were brought up in such a world,
Where each word carried a weight, in trauma,
One mistake would result in harsh repercussions,
Where violence thrived in the absence of our voice,
Not that any dialogue would have changed our fate,
Where lies were only truth we ever spoke,
An ally in form of a lie, sugarcoating words of praise,
Where we grew older believing that any words we use,
Can be used to hurt us in many distinct ways,
Where we buried our screams in darkest of nights,
So that we can smile through our fakest of smiles,
We now live in a present, where,
We cannot make a casual dialogue without,
Weighing our words, rather happily resort to silence.
