Silence

It calls for great strength
to be silent
when you want
to shout and scream,
to be tough enough
to bottle up your voice
and witness them
destroy your dream,
to stand still
and not resist
the spinning world
and the ensuing vertigo,
to plug your ears
bite your tongue
and whether you want or not,
mutely watch the show.

But that's the thing  about silence,
no matter what kind of courage mustered it up,
in the end,
it only weakens you and strengthens them.
