even though my lips ain’t moving
i’m talking to you..
this hush is the answer
to language battles that are never won..
this hush is the container
that holds the discontent that rolls from my tongue..
even if i speak
the words will only be distorted
and the true importance of what i say aborted..
and besides that
you wouldn’t listen anyway
to what i have to say..
since my voice to you is that of a dispute
even if the lingo is shared to help YOU
become better..
so there is no need for me to utter a sound
it will only fall on deaf ears..
this hush has nothing to do with fear
but it’s rather silent cheers
because i’ve originated a way
to overlook crookedness and lies
and spread my wings and fly..
my face may give the impression that i care
and you may witness the glares
that my eyes may grant..
but with my lips pinned tight
i simply can’t
feed your ignorance..
so i relax in the hush
to avoid the fuss
that never has an end
because it always feels like a challenge
that i’m trying to win..
can you hear the silence i converse?
because i have rehearsed this talent
over and over again in my mind..
some may say
that the hush is a form of defeat
but i say
it’s a defense tactic in order for me
to stay on my feet
and become whole..
so my soul
won’t have to hide behind lies anymore..
and guess what?
now that i have mastered the hush
i’m working on walking out the front door…
