Why sit in the shadow 

When the light is warm and welcoming

Why stay silent

When the noise is resounding and beckoning

Why be with a few

When there is many up for the joining

Why pick you

When there are other volunteering

The whys do not matter to me

In my life of individuality

Perplexed in my own mind

Am I sane, or is this insanity

Freedoms are being stripped every day

No one is standing up for this criminality

I covet every word you say

One day, the words will have their dismal finality.

In silence, I keep the chosen near my heart

As it continues beating

The veil has risen 

Only for their seeing

I will not cause the pain

These days are fleeting

As long as you remember my name

I will always be content with just being.

    2. I don’t need anybody to remember my name, myself. As long as my words reached something in them in recognition. I’m happy to let others have the limelight 😊

    3. Your words display your humanity and some vulnerability. Yet, there’s also a warm heart behind all that beating.
      Beautifully done, Fia.
