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.









hello lovely Fia this is beautiful in its acceptance of this person behind the veil 💕
Thank you, crimsin;))

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 😊

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