Keep Silence!

Keep silence

Like you never spoke

Your lips never parted

Like you never knew

If there is something called words

Leaving it to die, its premature death

Before alphabets could take any shape

Like you never heard

What is sound,

Even if it was chocking, right there

In your throat

Just listen

Don’t speak

You are not supposed to

Even if you are asked

Just nod, pretend

Don’t let your emotion roll

Keep it hidden

Emotion makes noise

Be careful

Keep your eyes shut

They say even they could speak

Whole story, silently

Just prohibit it

You are not supposed to

Disturb them

Else you would be punished

By the authorities

Of love, of loved ones

And your own soul would

Make you feel like a criminal

For hurting them

Just to make yourself feel better

Just to cry your heart out!
