Every night when the clock strikes
Each minute which denotes life's reduction
Every mile that distances me and you
Each word that acts neither as a sword nor as a feather
I stand bewildered...
Drenched only in your thoughts
In a world where our actions speak louder than words
I chose to remain quiet
In a place where any moment might be our last
I chose to be numb
As I encountered my unspoken truths floated in the air
and my hidden pain built in the chest
I didn't fail to realize...
A lot of us don't speak when we need
rather we choose to become numb or quiet
And I felt pathetic
To find me "one" among the many
